a short time ago I posted about my 48 buick made a loud bang after trying to start off up hill . finally got a chance to check rear. all gears look like new . no metal pieces in oil. answer was the driver side (left) axle snapped. guess that would be why it wont move. thanks for the help.

google Buick club or as I suggested the VCCA same question. I am sure both the Buick and know the VCCA have classifieds section. Watch Ebay.
I just checked Ebay, how may do you need! Besides this one there are several more;
