Re: Stewart's 1955 Packard 400

Not a lot of work lately. Either to busy, cold or out of town.
I did get the rear end apart and cleaned up last week. It was in pretty good shape. I was expecting a lot of gunk inside but it was all fluid. I already have the new seal and will probably resemble this weekend.
I do love finding the Packard Script in places that I don't expect to find it. That's why I posted the photo of the script I found on the gears.
Also, I think I need to retract what I said a few weeks ago about the Upper Control Arm Inner Bushings from MOOG fitting the arm arm. While they are the correct diameter they are also 1.2 to short. You can see from the image that I posted back then that the inside of bushings is not going to be long enough to reach the raised edge of the pin that passes through it. I guess I will be ordering the right parts from Max's soon.
