The 'ol 64 is nearly back together...

Trailing arms went in first.  Smooth - no issues.


Got the driveshaft & half shafts back from the shop - all new U-joints





Got the trailing arms, half shafts, driveshaft, shocks, and passenger side brakes all installed.  Driver side brakes and rear leaf left ToDo and we'll be back on the road...

Driveshaft & Half shafts: time for balance & new u-joints...

Took the driveshaft & half shafts down to S. Bay Driveline

They'll re-balance everything for us

Picked up this yoke "plug" so we could bring the yoke w/us.


That'll prevent any tranny fluid leaks until I get the driveshaft/yoke back from the shop

Trailing arms, half shafts, driveshaft & u-joints...

Jerry & I decided to tackle the drivetrain rebuild on the '64


Gonna get the driveshaft balanced and we'll put new u-joints in

And we'll put new u-joints in the half shafts as well...










A little liquid wrench on the old trailing arm pivot bolts and they came right off.  Advantages of a CA car!






Tear-down complete!  About a 3 1/2 hr. task
