Lark going to the crusher

[Jerry Forrester]

Disassembeled a '62 Lark 4 door today. I was 259 auto. The engine and tranny are long gone. The rear end is a 3.31 Dana 27. Should the rear end go to the crusher with the hulk or do you guys think that maybe someday, someone might have a need for it.

My guess is let it go. Most everybody says they're crap and are always looking for 44s to replace 'em.

Not TT, I assume?

In Jerry's first post he says Douglasville, Georgia.

They're the light-duty rear that can't take anything more than gentle use- at least that's what I hear.

Even the 44s didn't come with flanged axles unless you find a 65 or 66.

Jerry, if it was me I would save the axles, because they will be needed by someone, sometime. But that's just me, if you want them gone or need the $1.57 they are worth for scrap...go for it!

I have to differ,had my share of 27s and not one let me down.had a few 44s and no trouble either,so I'd say straight across the board!I've driven them gentle and against the law,and only one was flanged.personally I'm more concerned about ratio than model.

I have found 27's quite useful as a dust magnet, and giant paper weight.

Pull and keep the axles... toss the housing

I pulled the windshield and back window to get the stainless for Matthew.
Should I keep them and what other models do they fit?

The windshield moulding fits '61-'62 and the backlite moulding '62 only. No wonder they are out of business large fortune in tooling for different glass and mouldings.

Why keep the 27 axles? they only fit a 27 not much good unless you want to use them for stakes in the ground, scrap every thing about it I got mad yesterday and out went a pair of 44's..can't keep every thing...Bob
