It is amazing how much information there is on this forum. I found the thread on moving the rear drive line to a flange at the parking brake to eliminate the loud whining noise. From someones description I found that I had all of the parts to do the conversion today.
The parts included the slip yoke from a Dodge WC 3/4 ton along with the flanged yoke from the rear of a Dodge transmission.
The noise is gone now and I can hear the throbbing of the old bias ply Goodyear extra grips. They will be next to go, but what to replace them with in a radial?
Thanks for all of your help.
