Really hard to say how old. The rear is toast, the front flex disk
looks ok, and the bearing is looking good as well. I was more
interested in how simple it would be to do the whole job versus only
doing the bad disk. Is it a real pain to do it all, or a minor
irritation such that I would rather do the job once and be quit of it
for a long number of years?

Well, that depends. I recently replaced both flex disks and the center
bearing/mount on the SLC - and there was nothing visibly wrong other
than some cracks in the bearing mount rubber. However, I believed all
of them to be original - 1978 - and since I've just re-built the
engine, I figured it was preventative maintenance, and a small task
compared to everything else.
However, you're talking about Gump here -- how much do you like
crawling under there and pulling the drive shaft? Do you think all the
parts are the same age?

Gump has decided to destroy her rear flex disk. I am thinking about
what else I need for my Rusty order. Should I do the whole drive
shaft
with center bearing and both disk?
