Thanks Freddie, I figured it wasn't anything special but a guy can always hope, eh...
My buddy put it back together with the original shims and the backlash checked good, so ready to go, well almost, needs shoes and wheel cylinders...
I bought new axle bearings at NAPA and they are .001-2 smaller diameter and fit loose in the tube. He wasn't happy with that, so we put the old ones back, that really weren't bad, I was going to replace as a cautionary measure.

I kept telling him it was only going to go a couple miles anyway.... 1/4 mile at a time....
