Re: [Amc-list] t-tube broke

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My brother went thru the saga of rebuilding his torque tube as his truss rods and mounting point had rotted away on his 66 Marlin from sitting under pine trees for years.
Of course he then promptly found a parts car for it's good engine and in doing so got a mint torque tube with it!
