The drive shaft ends were oblong, he built them up and turned them to suit the U-joint. Had to cut off the Yoke to turn the ends, then he re-welded the Yoke and balanced the shaft. Luckily i had parts from the wreck, i was able to build two good u-joint sets.
Currently rebuilding the water pump, the shaft and bushing was still excellent, just need a new squishy compression material at end of shaft to seal. Says its an easy job, just needs the right material.
The rear passenger’s axle shaft had a big piece of steel missing on the spindle, luckily the shaft in my wreck had the same axel. Simple swap.
The rear bearings for the outer shaft were 1/8th narrower, had the machinist make shims to suit.
Had the brake bands blasted, re-painted and re-lined.
The machinist repaired the outer ring and made new sprockets for the interior of my window regulators, good for another 92 years.
