    what is this, what does it go to?

    The red set up looks like for military trailers that are 12 & 24 so they can be towed by civy trucks. The 2nd looks like for a tow light set up or for a a shelter towing dolly.

    M1097A2 helmet top AC unit

    Driveshaft at ujoint yokes should have zero play/movement I would replace both u joints and the hanger bearing with mount while you have it down. Just my thoughts and possible cheap insurance down the road not to do the same job twice. Your $ & Ymmv
