Hello FC List Members,

Please excuse me for misdirecting my previous message (intended for Ken 
Hand) to the list server.  As many of you have surmised, we had breakdown 
with our '65 GB on the way home from KY.  It appears that the bottom of the 
differential case may have been damaged or had some defect that caused a 
quarter-sized area to break out.  Fortunately this occurred at a restaurant 
only two blocks from the motel we had checked in for the night.  We were 
able to rent a minivan from a local dealer and drive home the next day.  I 
later used our truck and equipment trailer to retrieve the GB.

Our '65 Greenbrier (purchased from Steve Laser) has a 1965 style 
differential case drilled for the speedometer cable drive.  I have a spare 
1965 case that I am planning to get drilled to match.  Hopefully there is 
no damage to the internals so I can have everything transferred to the 
replacement case.
