Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Oh, and one other thing. Now that the chassis is square and the drivetrain components are in place, I thought I'd do a trial measurement for the driveshaft length. The trans yoke had very little spline engagement when the clearance for suspension movement was factored in. Turns out the PO had mated a 3R yoke to a driveshaft setup for 1310. The TH400 trans is out of a truck (has the threaded hole in the output shaft) but the yoke had no counterbore. Could have welded a ring on the end and machined it, but I'm not a big fan of welding on a part like that, so I ordered the correct 1310 yoke from Denny's Driveshafts. It properly adapts a one-piece driveshaft to a truck TH400 originally setup for the two piece d/s.
