There was a mid year change on the driveshaft. From 60 to
early 64, they use 3 regular u-joints & the center support.
I'm not sure what the later style uses. I believe there is
one or more sources listed here for the center support. I
believe it is "The Damper Doctor" as well as one or two
others that carry these.
