Worst one I’ve seen! I’ll get a picture of what’s left of the pinion tomorrow. View attachment 419633View attachment 419634View attachment 419632
What is the cause of the failure? Was the driver under 20 years old? In my youth - have broken u-joints till they were upgraded. Then several times scattered the rear end all over the highway in a built 66 Mustang. But that was abuse, full power, power shifting first to second. And not enough money to upgrade the rear ends.

When I was in tech school, one of our instructors had a 65 2+2 that was bad ass. Built 289, 4 speed, 4:11 gears. He wrecked a couple of 8" rear ends before it became a class project to upgrade it to a 9".

He’s a veteran that lives pretty close to me. Towed a semi truck with it. Don’t think it lived to long after that.
