Here's what your windshield post would look like. The 2 slotted screws hold the pipe in the casting. The hex is the remains of a curtain stud for the door windows.

Hi Fellas, I have some worn U joints, is this a simple replacement item from Malmburgs or do I have to hunt for something special?

Thanks

Off the shelf at Malmberg - I think they are Spicer 5-178X but it's probably wise to take your old ones in for comparison rather than taking my word on it.

Hi Louis

Tip from an old motor pool sargent who looked at one of my trucks when I was restoring it. He pointed to the drive shaft and said I had not aligned all of the grease fittings to point to the same side of the shaft. The two ends and the slide fittings. Reason, if you align all the fittings then it makes greasing the vehicle easier.

I did not take all 4 drive shafts off the C60L and correct the problem, but the next drive shaft I did I was careful get them all on the same side of the shaft and he was correct it does make it easier to grease if you don't have to keep rotating the shaft to get the next fitting.

Cheers Phil
