[FC] Greenbrier 64 differential

[Kevin Clark kgc66@sbcglobal.net]

Oh yeah, sez who?
It's not factory correct but I have a late model gut inside an early  
model housing and the axles are bolted. I have driven over 3,000  
miles this way since last summer. So far so good. It requires an  
exact thickness of spacers between the crossmember (term name?) and  
brake backing plate.
