How involved is replacing the U-Joints, I've never done this and I'm not
real experienced on working on cars? Anyone besides the big three to look at
purchasing them from?

Marty, I just replaced the 4 u-joints on my '74... not too difficult of a job. 


I'd recommend pulling the shoes, makes the job easier; I'd also check the 
condition/

tightness of the 6 trailing arm studs, but not too tight!. I wound up getting 
Hardy-Spicer

u-joints from TRF on sale, and I had a local drive-line shop put them on the 
half-shafts...

what do I know about installing them? They charged a nominal fee; well worth it 
in my 

estimation. You should have the Bentley manual to walk you thru this. Get new 
boot covers

and gaiters as well.




Now, as far as the u-joints on the driveshaft .....




Best, Kevin Browne
