Vibrations, not good, fixxed, good...

I learned something this time around. After having put my T back together after having it apart for paint, etc., this winter I discovered a horrendous vibration at about 30mph and above. The vibration got worse as I went faster.
Wheels hadn't changed, tires were ducky. I noticed too, that the vibration went away instantly if I popped it into neutral.
Drive line angle. Yep. Not balance of the drive line but ANGLE of the drive line. WAY too much angle. Now I knew about this 3 degree thing and all and had done some research while building BUT, when I put it back together the radius rods on the rear got reversed. Yep, reversed. Upside down, left to right, you name it.
Angle is back where it belongs, radius arms are MARKED so I won't do THAT again.
Take it from the guinea pig. Check it twice.
Hope this helps someone.

Hi Jim, Thanks for sharing that. Wonder how many others have done the same thing, but never found out what it was.
Glad you got it fixed, we'll see you on the street.
