"okie" or "oakie" bushing
http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/detail/6272/Chevrolet_Oakie_Bushing.html

original-style propeller shaft bushing (I think)?

Chevs of the 40s also "rents" the puller for an enclosed driveshaft bushing . I do not know if it long enough to pull an Okie bushing (maybe someone with first-hand experience will respond)?

Rob,

If you've got the driveline pulled out, a 6' or so length of pipe jammed up the torque tube will knock it right out with a little applied force with a sledge.

If my memory is right, the earlier types had a small metal dowel holding the bushings (2 of them) in place which needs to be removed.

What year of truck are you working on?

Jeff

More specifically, a 6' length of 1" pipe with a pipe coupler screwed to the "business" end. Make sure the couple OD is a tad smaller than 1.625" or you will only be pounding on the "step" inside the torque tube.
