[NoVa-Corvairs] parts needed

[Curtis L Shimp]

Daniel:

First, are we talking about axles or half shafts?  The axles are what you
bolt the wheels onto.  The half shafts connect the axles to the diff.  
Assuming you are talking about the shafts I am not sure I can help as I
think all of my stuff is '66 and you need the matching axles for those. 
However, I will be at my pole barn this afternoon and I will look.  I am
not staying at my old address but so far I still have access to the barn.
