[Chrysler300] 300G Ball and Trunion Conversion

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for good information and documentation.

Could someone tell me what years and models this modification/upgrade 
applies to? Are there ball and trunnion joints on both ends of the 
driveshaft? I have not inspected the U-joints on my 1955 C-300 yet but 
always looking to learn something about my options.
