Had another customer with a 35 Dodge pickup. Went over with him and we went through the possibilities. He said it started when he hit a curb with his pass rear tire. Told him to jack it up and put an object on the ground and spin the wheel. It turned out to be a bent axle.

That is great news. Darn good price for a shaft. You did not get the shaft on that one!! LOL

Hi From the bracket bolted to the engine to the carb. Yes on the combo. Is that one or two parts? Thanks Dave -

I have it figured out. Details later. MAN!! I love it when a puzzle comes together. -
The Fords back in the 70s were losing a fan blade. It was a faulty Revit that was breaking-coming lose. Mechanics were getting injured from reaching over the front of the engine to rev the engine. Ford came out with a gauge to check the rivets. I never reach over to rev the engine anymore on a belt-driven fan blade.

Rotate tires from back to front-front to back if it still vibrates after removing the drive shaft. Some of the vibrations over the years. bad fan blade engine transmission motor -trans mounts bent frame Clutch Flex plate torque converter driveshaft bent rear axle tires wheels front end parts worn master cylinder e brake brakes and a few more

I have been a wrench most of my life. Owend full-service gas-repair gas stations in Detroit. We were better than most Mechanics working in dealers. That's because we worked on anything that you put fuel in. Go Karts to Semi trucks to heavy machinery. We even had dealers bring cars to us. We always had a great crew. Worked on cars starting with my dad at 8 years old in 1960. These are the things that are a challenge to diag. Vibration Overheating intermittent electrical shorts Drivability- this is the hardest one
-
Where are you feeling the vibration? Steering wheel? Shifter? Seat? Floor?
-
Jack the back end up at the rear end. Have the wheels about 2 in from the ground. Be careful with this procedure. Don't try this at home in your garage. LOL. Run the truck up to 40 slowly.
-
Make sure no cops are around. lol Jack up the truck with the tire off the ground about an inch. Put something on the ground about 1/2 inch away. rotate the tire to see if mounted correctly. if not, it will wobble. Look to see if the tire is out of round.
-
Try this on a wide-open road. Pull the drive shaft and have a vehicle pull you at 35-40 mph.

Shipping delayed!! I figured it out. They are for the 34 Sedan. Show you later when I gather the other parts that are attached to the bracket. The mystery I have now is how does it mount to the car frame? Can't find pictures of the mounting. Thanks Dave -
