I have been helping a friend of mine with his Datsun wagon. We drug it to my shop....quite literally when the rear brake linings fell off and wedged the rear brake tight!

We scabbed together some driveline pieces and used the stock rear axle for tuning etc until it started making noises of destruction. Picked up a ford 8.8 trak lok rear with 3.73 gears and disc brakes from the pick a part along with an extra short side axle. Narrowing in process!
