81 T-Top

Thanks, Yeah after redoing the rear end and getting it in place with new parts, and once the car got lowered front and rear after these pictures were taken, I realized I should have cut down the housing and shafts. The unit was originally out of an 88 T/C Automatic car. Yes it bolted up alright, but due to the extra antilock brake gear width on both ends of axles, the wheels stuck out too far. 1-7/8" cut on each end would have allowed me to have the right size tire tucked underneath the rear wheelhouses where they belonged. Oh well live and learn. It was done a long time ago around 1989 before most everyone were doing these swaps. The next one will be five lug and will be drastically cut down though.
