 I don’t think that is the case. They already had a drive line that would have to be ordered either longer or shorter to meet the need and the cost differential would be minimal. But, the added cost for the 2 pc d/s is 2 cv joints, a central bearing, and additional support brackets. Although it does lose 1 u-joint in the design

I think it may have to do with trying to compensate for a possible change in the pinion angles with the new transmission. Does a 1 pc d/s work? Yes. Reading thru this forum, there are a lot of conversions out there and they all seem to be working fine.
