Thanks for the references and information. I opened the truck manual page you sent and it indicates 1948-49 are dowel pinned.
My truck is a 1948 so I assume I should be able to see that pin on the outside of the torque tube. If it is a dowel pin holding it once I drill out the pin and remove the bushing will the hole be covered up by the oakie bushing or will this be a source of a leak? Also since it is not pressed in shouldn't the bushing come out easier than pressed fit?
