Thanks for the FYI...it seems to be pretty solid so far...Might of been replaced at one time. We'll definately keep an I on it, though.

She'll be happy for sure !!
When my pops had this car buit back in the ninetys, someone installed some kind of Chrysler rear-end (??) So I took the driveline in yesterday to have a rear u-joint installed (Could of done it myself, just couldn't ID it).
When I walked up to the South Bay Driveline counter...the guy said (looking from a distance) "Nice...a FORD driveline, with a CHEVY front yolk, and a CHRYSLER rear....."
I was like "WTF !!!!"
He checked it out, and said I should have a new one built...so will do...after other "bills" are taken care of.
Couldn't believe it when he told me that....Actually I could, there were other items rigged on that car:
The cable operated wipers are missing everything, and half the heater is gone.....so it'll be a summer ride for a while !!
Also, when I replumbed the fuel lines...I found two different ghetto fuel pumps, with copper lines, rubber hoses and a million hose clamps (defiantely not a pro NOS installer)
My 'pops' has been taken a few times....but now that he has me, it's all good !!
Later....
