hey there.today while driving my 1949 chevy 6400 with 2 speed rear end, i came up to and intersection right in front of my work.i had it in neutral while waiting for the light and when i put it in gear to go, the driveshaft just spun.i thought that the 2 speed had shifted into neutral on its own being that it is not hooked up.after getting it home after work being pulled by another truck, i noticed that my right rear wheel/hub were halfway off.i took the wheels off and removed the axle to find my bearing was completely torn up.i lost sunlight and will continue on it tomorrow.my guess is that the 2 jam nuts inside loosened a little bit so the axle slid out enough so i couldnt drive, and towing it home probably tore up the bearing.
does anyone have any other guesses? has anyone experienced this? hopefully i can just go get a new bearing and be on the road for the 4th.
Thanks, Danny
