Thanks. If you view the photos, you'll see there is a Hale brand fire pump that connects in the middle of two individual drive shafts. I figure that they are both short distances so Oren(the folks that built the fire truck setup) determined no carrier bearing was needed.
There is a slip yoke on the front drive shaft that might acount for flex during operation but no carrier bearings are present on either the front or rear drive shafts.
I guess that on a 161" wheelbase 2 ton, there should be a carrier bearing but I'd have to look in the shop manual to be sure. My manual is down at the shop and it is closed until Monday morning and I'm out of town.
