tranny noise

[Clem Clement]

I'm flogging my '39 peeekup. The tranny is noisy on third gear and the uni area gives off a clank in motion. Our work party has the rear end out and I have cleaned the uni. It is loose but I would not consider it shot. I will replace it. 3 of the four knob ends are shiny showing scuffing on the ball interior through abut 1/4 of the way around. The uni bolt was a bit loose and front-to-back play in the tranny end shaft is 1/16."
We open the rear end tomorrow.
