HOLY &hit! I've never seen a torque tube failure like that. Possible seized Okie bushing? Likely lack of lube in tranny, as thats what lubes the ujoint and front "okie" bushing the enclosed driveshaft rides on. Was the truck hard to shift?
You're gonna have to pull the enclosed driveline and the tranny apart. Typically involves separating the system at the U-joint bell (that bell-shaped glowing thing behind tranny), then removing tranny and 3rd member from rear axle. The driveshaft itself can't be serviced without completely dissassembling the rear axle. Welcome to stovebolt, you've begun your "baptism by fire"
welcome to the loony bin
