thanks for the help
this is actually for a 65 bus with a 67 bug swing axle trany (long axle. short spline)

IF you can get your hands on a 924S, then you have all the parts required for a NA conversion.

The 86 arms may or may not the the aluminum ones. I think the 944's switched from steel to alum rear arms in early 86.
