I'll remove the tube and check that as well - Pre'68 Dave ! In fact it was my next question - if the long bed had one or two u-joints.
Is the rear-end the same after the rear u-joint ? I have a complete rear-end from a Chevy 1/2-ton 1950 short bed [got it from my friend ... street rodder you know ;)] and I was thinking to swopp with that one if the pinion bearing is shot.
I guess I have to remove the rear u-joint first and lower the tube and then remove tha clamps holding the short stub shaft and then remove the front u-joint - or do you have any trick for this ?
One mroe thing - how does that read u-joint get lubrication - througth the small "pipe-plug" at the rear of the transmission [and how much oil gets in there ?] ? Maybe it has run dry for a while ....
thanks a lot !
