Thanks Glen, cleaned it all up, turned out to be 7/16/18 and a 2.5” bolted flush through the two halves and added a new grease zerk. All is good with that now but now it appears the torque tube is sprung. Off about an inch from side to side where it hits the leaf springs. Not much in the manual but I loosened the 3 bolts to adjust but haven’t gotten any movement yet. Initial appearance the rear looks in pretty good shape. Replaced the outer bearings and seals. Passenger side was leaking onto the brake. Still had the leather seal. Also is the higher gear 3.82.

If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
