[FC] Wheel Bearings

[James Davis]

Clark you need to crawl under a 65 Greenbrier.  It is a late model 
differential case, although the holes for the late model suspension are not 
drilled and tapped and it carries some 64 components inside.  The 64-65 
FC's have a different 3-sp and 4-sp than the cars.  Having have several 
FC's, I consider the 61-63 as earlys and the 64, 65 as lates.  Lots of 
differences between the two.  Billy Bruce's 63 Monza has FC axles in it so 
they can be made to fit.  The stock car axles could take the 350 ftlb of 
torque of the engine.
