Group 4.081 48-53 all 1/2 ton; and, 1954, only 1/2 ton with H.T. (HydraMatic Transmission)

I stand corrected.
So that would mean 47-55 1st Hydra-Matic and manual transmission trucks 3/4 ton and up with a open drive shaft, do not use a transmission rear tail support cross member.
Do trucks 3/4 ton and up use a 2 piece drive shaft and a center carrier bearing?

Thanks
