Thanks Frank. My son and girlfriend are home for the week. He figgered out how to get it on. Over my head.
Did you friend ever sell that beautiful '70 I saw when I was there?
On the u-joint subject, which is better, greasable or non greasable. Is there much difference between 'Corvette Catalog' type and local parts shops u-joints?
I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Nothin' crazy about that Ron. I just lean more towards O'Reillys than Auto Zone. Usually have better prices and quality. We'd REALLY be in the hole if we bought everything from the catalogs.
That's why I asked. I've found, like you, most of it is just about the same. Cheaper and no shipping! 
Hey Joel. Are you sure that Spicer makes the 'Brute Force' u-joints? I couldn't find them last nite on their site.

They are made by a company called "Neapco", or sumpthin like that. They are available from NAPA, I am sure of that. You really just need to get joints that do not have grease fittings, reguardless of who makes them. I know the ones I put on the '74 were Brute Force, I jes don amember where I gots them.
