I'm no pup ( but I wish I was) and I was around for that stuff.........Broke a rear (ring and pinion) in a '57 sedan delivery and it was a 14 second ride in 1966 with a hydro.......was with Frank Iaconio one weekend when he broke an axle at York and he and some helpers worked for hours trying to get the broken piece out.....loaded up with it still broke, went to a motel and worked the next morning at another track, Island.....got it fixed and broke another axle that day! His car was a stick fuelie at the time......I doubt that many Jr. Stockers had aftermarket anything back then in their drivelines......
