Dan, just placed an order today for rear axle oil seals and bearing grease retainers. I remember asking my father as the M38 neared completion, "you think I should change the axle seals?" My dad didn't think so, as nothing had leaked during any test drives. Guess what started leaking this weekend? I'll soon see how easily 50+ year old axle shafts want to come out the housing. Here is a picture of the M38 registered and inspected, just working on little items here and there as time permits. Thanks for all your help and parts! Rick
