63 pumpkin - murphys law
Just had one more thing to do, install the driveshaft and the frame was finished, body arrives Saturday with the new paint job, life was good. Lubed up the driveshaft, inserted it into the back of the tranny and turned the rear wheels about 90 degrees to line up rear end trunion with driveshaft, and I hear a thunk. I look at my rear end and I snapped the snap ring for the drivers side half shaft.
So I now get to undo everything that was done to the rear of the car to remove the pumpkin. My pumpkin is a 3818753-N and has a weld mark on the casing where the casing was previously cracked. I was going to ignore it but now that I have to literally disassemble the rear to fix the differential I thought I would put out an all points bulletin for a 3818753 Casing. I checked the for sale ads, nothing there.
So if you have a 3818753-N casing that is empty that has a cast date before May 63 I am interested
If you have a 3818753-N casing that has a gear set in it that is dated before May 63 I would be interested.
I do not need the gear set but would buy it to get the casing. I place this post here because of suddenly needing the casing because I am literally 2 snap rings away from a complete rear end removal, so this would be my one and only time that I would consider the change. If you have one PM or send an email to m2-112@shaw.ca
I was literally seconds away from lowering the frame to the ground and it being "done" but I guess one should be happy it happened now rather than later.....although I am not feeling the "happiness" at the moment.
