I've left a message for Bob. I'm hopeful that he can help with parts.

When you find Bob Sweet ask to see his old 60's drag race photos from Ohio, he ran a Topolino. Bobs 84 and was a swap vendor at LA Roadster show this year, it's in his blood.

Likewise, Tim, I have an NOS one I could overnight to you if you can't find one locally. I've PM'd you with contact details.

Tim, if you can get it to the hill climb as-is I can bring one if needed

No pictures. The u joint started to rub on the inside of the clamshell cover. It was just noise, but not knowing what it was, I wanted to fix it while we has access to a garage full of good tools. It's all back together now I just need to check fluid levels in the diff and trans.
Thanks again to you guys and Fordbarn for the quick parts locating services. One more flathead on the road again!

Fast work, Tim! Hope the rest of your drive to the Georgetown Hill Climb goes smoothly!

How did you lube the U joint as it was going back together and what lube did you use? Just curious.
