" Hi guys, I have been fighting annoying noises and vibrations in my 66 
" American since I got it almost 3 yrs. ago.
" 
" Today I replaced an outer front wheel bearing that was rough(found the L/F 
" wheel a bit loose at the wheel nut when I got it from the seller). I had 
" tightened it as per the TSM  and let it go.
" 
" In the meantime I have had this annoying droning sound when I go 45 mph or 
" more. I feel it as well as hear it. Below 45 mph, the car is quiet and 
" smooth as glass. I had suspected a driveshaft out of balance when I had a 
" vibration also. The wheel bearing took car of that vibration, so I am down 
" to the droning "buzz" or whatever.
" 
" Bad rear end bearing?  Bad rear wheel bearing?  bad tire(s) they are new but 
" not a name brand I can recall.

it might still be the driveshaft.  ever had the u-joints replaced?  if
the shop accidentally gave the shaft 1/2 turn before pressing the yoke
in, that could upset the factory balance enough to do it.
