72 duster Build progress

good news......looks like the rear ends good. I just did a quick inspection but what I found was that when I gunned it the rear axle shifted in the u-bolts about a half inch or so which through the drive shaft out of wack and it dropped a u joint cup which let the driveshaft drop ....at which point the car felt like it came unglued when the shaft went so far out of balance. luckily one cup and strap held which kept the drive shaft in and didnt cause worse damage. so now when I get the free time I am going to lift the car up and go over all the rear end work the previous owner did and make sure its all up to my standard and retrue the axle housing to the car. put another u joint in and then it should be good to go.


just wanted to let you guys know my findings so far!
