Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Pulled one of the axle shafts out of the 9", removed the bearing, seal, and plate, pressed the new studs into the new East Coast Gear Supply 5 on 5" axle shafts, installed new bearing et al, and installed the axle. Now have one wheel properly bolted on on the back. We'll see how far I get on the other tonight.

Axle appears to have about 3.50 gears (3.55 if Ford???). Perfect for boost! And saves money, as I only have to buy a limited slip, not that and gears.
