The Odd Rod 65 Fury won’t Start
My 65 Plymouth Sport Fury is called the “Odd Rod” by my friends in the classic car and truck world. I had been driving my car every Sunday after church.

My 65 Plymouth Sport Fury driver’s side rear axle bearing has gone out. I have pulled the axle and the remaining grease ran out and the bearing was dry.
