Yesterday I retrieved my old rear half shaft from storage to temporarily replace the slip unit I had installed years ago. Oddly the rear unit when installed appears to be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches too short placing the center bearing way to the rear where only one retainer bolt can be installed. Conversely the yoke is only in the Saginaw tranny about an 1 3/4 inches! The only drivelines I have ever had available are two units from two 64 Biscaynes so it is unlikely that I have a different unit. Time has eroded my memory on the details of when I had installed one of these on the project car which is not helping me at all to recall the particulars of these shafts.
So guys what is the story here. Is there a longer rear shaft for the stock 64 that I need? Perhaps I have the wrong front unit? I am miffed!
