Hello FC List Members,
Please excuse me for misdirecting my previous message (intended for Ken
Hand) to the list server. As many of you have surmised, we had breakdown
with our '65 GB on the way home from KY. It appears that the bottom of the
differential case may have been damaged or had some defect that caused a
quarter-sized area to break out. Fortunately this occurred at a restaurant
only two blocks from the motel we had checked in for the night. We were
able to rent a minivan from a local dealer and drive home the next day. I
later used our truck and equipment trailer to retrieve the GB.
Our '65 Greenbrier (purchased from Steve Laser) has a 1965 style
differential case drilled for the speedometer cable drive. I have a spare
1965 case that I am planning to get drilled to match. Hopefully there is
no damage to the internals so I can have everything transferred to the
replacement case.
