Help!
Alright guys I have a 64 that I back halfed. I'm running a SD wishbone. It has the stock 12 bolt.
Ok I measured from the drum mounting plate to the tube of the center section and got 20 1/8" on both sides. So I took my wish bone and put the axle brackets on it. Measured both sides and set the brackets the same from the center section. After tacking it up and looking at the front of the wishbone the pinion sits offset to the right of the piviot on the wishbone.

Re: Help!
The pinion is not "centered" in the casting....but it doesn't matter anyway. As long as the wheels are centered under the body, go with it.
The u-joints need some angularity to work properly and it can be from any direction.
