anyone know where I can get a exploded view of the rear end so I can put it back toughter

Lonny,

In addition to including your '48, I invite you to include your '34 1101 Standard 8 Rumble Seat Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo!

No exploded views but there are some good illustrations of the construction of the differential and the wheel bearing arrangement in the 1933-36 Parts List. There also some illustrations in the 9th-12th series service letters. You may find these documents available here, if not reprints of this material are readily available though I could scan some of these for you if necessary. There is nothing particularly counterintuitive about assembling the rear axle, though it does use 2 double-row ball bearings on the pinion (one inboard) and the axle shafts use double-opposed outboard roller bearings. Otherwise pretty much like any other hypoid rear axle. What particular problems were you having in putting it together?

I have not started to put it toughter yet just trying to line up my ducks. Thanks for the info. I will have many more questions to come. I purchased the 1101 totaly disassembled. Lonny

When you have a chance, I'd love to know what body style your 1101 is, and also to get the vehicle number and body dash (thief-proof) number. Also the engine # if you believe it's original to the car. Also if it's Detroit or Canadian production and whether it's RHD or LHD. Thanks in advance, PM me with the info if you want to keep it confidential.

Dave the modle 1101 is a standard 8 rumble seat coupe. The vehicle # is 718 146 engine # is 377 464 and the ID on the firewall is 182730. The documentation that I got with the car says that the orignal engine had a rod through both sides of the block. I still have the block with a statement that it was repaired. The owner of the car before me bought another engine from a museum, not sure where. He has since passed away. It is a left hand drive. The orignal owner was from Calf. I would assume that it was made is the US

Lonny, thanks a lot for the data. It sounds like a wonderful car. There were few of those coupes built, and many of the survivors were later chopped up and converted to a roadster so that they are rare indeed today, I only know of a handful and a friend is current restoring 718-87. I believe there are only 4 listed in the PAC Directory. I have a real soft spot for 1934 Eights, in a few months I'll be celebrating 50 years since I bought my 1100. The patent plate (vehicle number plate) tells you if it's Detroit or Canadian production. See the example below.

How about a couple of pictures?

Dear Lonny:

I'm not trying to be snooty, but do you know about pinion depth, preloads, backlash measurements, and gear contact patterns?

If you don't have the tools then you need to take the unit to a driveline specialist. Otherwise you can end up with a noise problem.

I was doing those things on modern cars because even the factories are doing them wrong and with today's quiet interiors the proper set up is essential to avoid noise.

I do not have the tools that you are talking about. Thank you for that information. Lonny

Right now there are only about 2 parts of the car that are toughter. I bought the car from a professenal restorer in Salt Lake City. the car had been setting for about 8 years before I bought it. Jeff Stevens was the owner and was the one whe took it to the restorer. He passed away in about 2004. a lot of the car has been restored but still apart. I hope that I can put it back together. It will be a chalange I am sure. I have some 800 pictures of how it was taken apart. You might say that I found a barn find. Lonny
