So, the '64Dog is going together slowly and I found the U-joints need to be replaced, one of the cups had NO needles in it! Just waiting to be a big problem.
I'm short of cash, so bought closeout U-joints from rockauto, about $4 each. These are supposed to be standard duty, greaseable. They showed up, in Dana Spicer boxes. I opened the first one, snap rings and a grease fitting fell out. Okay, good.
Several days later I opened the box again, thinking I'd install the grease fitting so it'd be ready. But there's no hole for the fitting! At this point I opened the second box, with the same results. Perfect made-in-USA U-joints with snap rings and grease fittings but no holes for the fittings! The pad for the hole is there, but undrilled.
I'll probably use them, anyway, but has anyone ever had this happen to them?
Best Regards, R.

Sometimes 1 of the caps has a hole in it for the Zerk.. So easy to drill a hole in 1 of them and install the Zerk...
