    I think they're the same, '57 - '64. You might check with NAPA... I know the rear ends are the same from those years, anyway.

    Have allcads, or Arizona Vintage, or Caddy Daddy send you one via Greyhound.

    Junk yards pick up cars with fork lifts and almost always bend the shafts. :(

    Try Powertrain Industries in Brea or Garden Grove. They can fix it or replace the bad parts.

    thanks guys, he called coopers they said they have one for him. The car is at the electrical shop and the guys wouldn't let him drop the drive shaft in the shop. Otherwise he could have gotten it fixed today. Were leaving Friday morning so were scrambling to get it roadworthy
