How's it going everyone. It's been a few years since I was last here but I'm back with a bit of a dumb question I guess. I bought a 73 fury alittle while ago. Finally been driving it for a few months and fixing little things here and there. So I was cruising today and a bowtie pulled up next to me. We decided we should run em and well I destroyed my driveshaft. Looks like a bolt on one of the u joint straps was loose and the strap came apart. We were already at speed and while I was slowing down the driveshaft came out of the transmission and I ran it over. Lucky for me it didn't take anything else out. My question for you guys is, when I put the car in park I can hear what almost sounds like the park pawl grinding. Drive and reverse appear to work I got the car up on jack stands and put it in gear and I can see the splines at the rear turning. So my question is did I destroy the transmission too? Should I just take a look inside and see what comes out? Also any advice on where I can look for a transmission, driveshaft, and pinion yoke for my differential? This is a 360, Small block 727, 8 1/4 diff car. I can't really measure the driveshaft to get a new one made on account of it being bent. I appreciate any and all help from you guys. Been a few years since I was last here. My first experience with a c body was my 68 fury I bought when I was around 20 years old. About 4 years ago. Maybe longer actually.
