Greetings Bolters.
1948 Chevy 3100 project. When I try to bolt the ball housing to the rear of 4-speed manual transmission (all original parts), it won't come together. The bolts are incredibly hard to tighten and the four holes are bending and still leaves a gap. Any suggestions? It appears that the driveline is lower than the transmission, i.e. coming in at a lower angle and not straight in. Do I need to jack up the rear diff to improve this angle?
Thanks in advance.
