RE: Rear drums

[MrChristopher1@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Dan,
Thanks!  I thought there to be a differance.  Yes, the car is a '64, but someone in it's past, must of swapped the rear end as well as the Tranny.  There was no nut that had to be loosened.  
I know the rear is a 489 housing, but haven't looked at the #'s in a while so don't know what year it might be.  It does have what looks to be a home made pinion snubber too.  The tranny is the same thing.  Haven't looked at the #'s in a while, but do believe it to be a '65 727 pushbutton.  I get the #'s and sort out exactly what is under there.  
Thanks for the answers...you've cleared a few things up for me.
Christopher
