Anyone know if I could do this with a stock 65 Dart GT?

Any chance anyone here could point me to someone to deal with for a full assy 8-3/4 in south western Ontario Canada (near Brantford ON) Thanks

Yes no fun, wish I had a garage to work in all winter on the car. Oh well at least I'm patient, been working on her since 2008 but she drives and rides nice and is fun to take to cruises including MoparFest last 3 years

Thank you P.J.H. that will be the first thing I check when I get her out of storage in the spring. Sucks I have to wait that long but it's packed in with 3 other classics and I can't get to her now. I noticed you are from Ontario if thats in Canada I too am in Ontario. Thanks again for your...

I'll keep that in mind chryslerfat, thanks

Thanks Charrlie I'll keep looking. There is quite a thunk when I engage to drive or reverse and I am guessing there is a lot of lash in the rear.
