I'm going to be servicing my rear differential in my '59 Strato Chief... tossin' a new seal & some fresh fluid in there. Thing is: I've never done it before, is there anything I need to know... or any tricks or tips to keep in mind in my ongoing effort to not completely screw this automobile up?
If so... spill your guts!
thx Dave

i thought you were gonna ask if your rear end looks fat in them there jeans!!LOL!! This is a great question, i was going to do the same soon also. By the way, do you have a website for your band?
Ummm, sorry Carl, that's for later models, 59's did not have the 12-bolt or even 10-bolt rear cover type diff, they had the drop-out center section like the 9" Fords - here's what the 56 looks like, 59 is the same:
Fat Dave and Trevor, I do have all kinds of documents on how to rebuild this rear end, PM me with your email address and I'll send 'em all to you.
Dave
