I think stock appearing would be fun. But to be near the top, very expensive. I’ve already changed mine too much to go back. It would be out of my price range.

Thanks. I’m gonna see if someone in my club needs one. If not I’ll put it on here.

This rear bumper looks much more massive than other 63 Polara’s. I want to get a correct one. Any ideas on what it’s off? Thanks Bob I’m

lol most of us would be overjoyed to be as good as you when your at your worst.

My car is in the shop this week to find and fix the cause of the vibration.

I also did a new 489 case with 3.73 gears and a Detroit Locker and billet 1350 yoke. Spins freely had a shop take my old drive shaft and install a 1350 yoke on my nice no vibration shaft. Now it vibrates above 50 worse as speed increases. Appears to spin straight. Will pull out the dial...

I have the Caltrac mono-leaf. 9 way shock in the rear set on #5. 318 torsion bars. 9/10’s. Mild 440 3000 stall. 3.73’s with Detroit Locker. 3400 empty. 275/60/15 Cooper Cobra’s. As long as I don’t open the secondaries in the first 10 or 15 feet it hooks pretty well. If it starts to spin it will...

I remember ol’ Sneaky Pete Jackson running Top Fuel with a little 327 Chevy 2 bolt and doing pretty well. Yup he did girdle it but still. If I remember right he was guestimating 900 hp. There all fun. But it is a rush to beat more genetically blessed motor with your own hard worked hot rod.

Yep small lip. Lots of bad info on line. Found my bill from the shaft shop. The new tube yoke he used was a spicer 2-28-557. That’s an external lock 1310 part. What threw me was that they said the joint was a spicer 5-789x. That’s a straight 1310/1310. I have an offset 1310/1350 joint. Hey...

I couldn’t get under the car so the wife did it. Pretty spry for 75. Outside locks, her best reading was 1.053. It is offset. 1310 should read 1.083, 7260 is 1.078.

I know their inside just need to get under there with the calipers.

So I know my diff is a 1350. Now I need to figure out what the rear of my shaft is.

Yes but a solid. No nipples.

Yeah. Standing b/p is running in the low 70s. Parkinson’s is messing with my med requirements. Cars in the big garage. I’ll get my grandson to help me get up and down.

Ok I pulled the bill from the shaft shop. Now I’m really confused. It says he used a Spicer 5-789x which is a 7260 series joint. He told me he used a 1310/1350 hybrid. My mechanic had no problems with the install. Guess I’m gonna see if I can get down on the creeper. Passed out, fell and broke...
