It is very hard to say what has been done to your truck, I would like to see the parts.
The same front pinion bearing was used from 1940-54 in trucks.
Depending what was done, you may have spline count issues also, even at the U'joint end of the drive shaft.
You may be better off finding a 1948-54 torque tube assembly.
