Hello, I took my u-joints to a turner/miller (machinist) to rectify the "edge" that I circled in red, the arrows in red show what I had to remove for it to be like original The model of these u-joints are: Dorman 81002 You can find them here on this link : https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-HELP-81002-U-Joint-Repair/dp/B000CO7ED0 Or here https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-18591-81002.aspx Normally it's the same model as mine

The u-joints you are looking for, are those of the transmission shaft / axles? If that's right, I had to change them on my Buick, it was complicated to find, but I found a model that was similar but I had to modify the new joints so that they correspond with the 'drive shaft . here are photos of the original u-joints and the new ones : the original one on the left and the new one on the right, you can see that the new one is different and I had it rectified so that it is like the original

The Buick will soon be ready for painting ! Rust in the trunk could also be water condensation over time ?

I was also looking for two mirrors for my 1969 Electra, and I realized that there were two models available. A non-adjustable model, and another slightly larger model which is adjustable from the inside thanks to a joystick. Are you looking for an adjustable or non-adjustable mirror ? If you are looking for an adjustable one, there is an adjustment joystick on the door panel or on the dashboard

I may be making a mistake, but if you turn the propeller in the other direction, does the rotation change ? (the propeller sucks on one side and blows on the other)

Hello everyone, on a well-known sales site in France I found someone who was selling a lot of American leaflets and there were some from Buick. And so I bought this Buick leaflet ! 1949 Buick 1950 Buick 1955 Buick 1956 Buick 1957 Buick And 1958 Buick I'm happy to have bought this Buick leaflet, I found it very beautiful I don't know why, the photos are not in the right direction, they are sideways -
Woww beautiful bumper ! and that steering box is superb ! I am currently working on the steering box for my 1978 Dodge Monaco. This interior mirror is very interesting, I had never seen this option with the integrated light. Did you have the manual with the options available for Buick 1968 ? This option may be there. Is it a light bulb ? it's not a probe? Were there disc brakes (at the front) on this 1968 Electra ?
