I drove it to my favorite junkyard and bought both rear lower shock mounts , plus all four correct shock bolts & Hwe. , then I popped the Derby Cover off the 6 jug rear end to find an April 1967 dated 3/27 ratio (11/41 tooth count) final drive ! sweet .

Uh , not quite , the mesh pattern was spot on but they'd been running it low on oil and it looked like the original oil fill , dribbled out like water and the ring gear teeth faces were all brinneled so it prolly hums .

Dammit .
