elmer46 Shop Shark E Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 217 san antonio, tx	I just picked up a rearend with an open driveshaft at a swapmeet. PO said he thinks it came from 50s chev. It has 6 lug axles and an open driveshaft. I want to replace the pinion shaft seal but need some specs to order the right one. Can anyone help with the years chev introduced the open driveshaft? Thanks in advance Rick,,,
