I will try to get some pics out their for all you. I just got done putting 8" rear end out of a 74 comit and now all i have to do is switch out the yokes and new u joints and i will bet golden. i should have that done thursday. I'm also bulding a 51 hudson with my friend so don't have all the time for mine.

good news

well i just got my new drive line back from the shop well guess what i got to drive the 51 around the block and brakes lights and all work great! but the drive line is about 3 1/2" too short and they are closed till monday so that means the tranny is leaking out the tail shaft and that sucks oh well.
at least the rear end i just got is golden.

That 51 is sweet. Really like the stance.

As for the driveshaft - just shorten the car by 3-1/2 inches!
