I have a 1936 pickup rebuilt the trans am ready to install it. The front driveshaft bearing has noticable movement up and down. Does anyone know the runout for this bearing? Thanks
 
Mate,I don,t know if there is a spec for it,but on my 33 I had about .012 play,I fitted new old stocks leave and roller bearing and it went down to about.003, get a new bearing and sleeve,

Be careful using new repro sleeves. Some have reported they are mostly junk. Too soft, wrong size, etc. I have a difficult time finding appreciable wear on the originals I remove from used torque tubes. Could be a problem with the roller bearing or possibly wear on the shaft behind the spline. Unfortunately, you may have to take things apart to find the real problem.
 
Then if you need parts you can get the originals from
Bar find 08 here on the forum.
