[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the front B&T joint kind of fell apart on us so I needed that.  I 
bought a complete NOS kit, including new housing, and also a new cross 
joint kit for the rear.  Brought it all in to the driveline shop with 
the the shaft to have it all fresh.  Now I have a vibration over 50mph.  
You're right - the guy is much more interested in hot rods and race cars 
than restorations, and hasn't the patience for this.
