Can anyone point me in the direction of locating parts like ring and pinion gears, seals, shims etc. needed to repair the differential on a 54 buick skylark?  Are there special tools needed?  I'm having the 2 speed dynaflo transmission repaired, overhauled as well but two different shops will do the work.
i'm new to these forums but i'm learning...  I'm certainly open to direct emails and phone calls.  Email is Rob@RMcCanon.com  Phone is 9772-740-7990.  Thanks.

Rob, Welcome the AACA Forums. You might drop down to the Buick forums with your question. There hangs out there a great ' 54 guru by the title of Mr. Earl. A great Buick guy as well as a great guy in general. He as well as many others on those forums will have the answers your looking for. Oh and you might join the Buick Club of America (BCA) lots of friendly knowledgeable folks who are really willing to help.

Mark and Carl, thanks.  I'm not sure where i am... that being which forum.  I joined BCA a couple of weeks ago.  Member 48559.  I also joined the 53-54 skylark club.  Are they a subchapter of BCA?  I just noticed my phone number above is wrong.  Jeez... my fingers must stutter...   972-740-7990.  Sorry.  I've got to figure out how to get to the 'buick forum'.  I just realized this is the AACA forum.  I'm such a moron.  Sorry guys.  I'll go to the BCA site.  Again, thanks so much.

Rob, if you are on the AACA Forum, just scroll down to the Buick Forum - look forward to seeing you there.  Based on your phone number you are in the Dallas area, so if you are going to join a local club there is a BCA chapter and also an AACA chapter.  If you are interested I can give you details on both.

Thanks J.,  Yes, i'm in Highland Village and have reached out to the local chapter of BCA.  I think they have a meeting in Arlington this Saturday but my schedule is going to keep me from attending.  That's probably different than the AACA club and chapter.  Still finding my way around the clubs, chapters and orgs...  Where and when does the AACA chapter meet?  Is it different than the BCA club?  Sorry for my ignorance.  Just all new to me.

I think i got the private message.  I replied to it...I think.  Frankly, i can't emagine how my dad managed 30 years ago finding parts and info.  Times have sure changed with the internet.  Thanks John.  Look forward to meeting you AND taking a good look at your 39.  That's a pretty cool ride.
