I was surprised to not find some kind of limited slip rear diff setup with that much up front. The pics of the brake setup in the "56 front suspension" thread and the way the truck took a bit of a set before the smoke rolled out, made me wonder about the line lock. Maybe it's just the 3500 rpm stall converter. I'm sure I'll test mine a few times when it's up and running too.

Yes, the truck has an open diff, dana out of a Cherokee, 3.73 gears as far as i know , i beat the hell out of it and it hasnt broken yet, the truck will will get 4 link and a 9 inch someday, but once you are driving them, its hard to stop and take it apart again. does have a line lock, used it to take a set as you said.

My original plan was to do the front half of the truck, then tub it the next winter, but once the truck was done, with the style i went with , tubbing doesnt seem to me like it will look right, so now im thinking 4 link. the way it is now i can have lots of fun, and break no parts!

As for the trest of the driveline, it is a balanced 360, 1973 block, nice street build, still has the cast crank, J heads, flat top forged pistons, milidon gear drive, thumper cam, MSD ignition, headman shorty headers, had them ceramic coated inside and out, flowmaster 40's  performer intake, also ceramic coated inside and out, Holly 650 dual feed, double pump, mechanical secondary , the trans is a 727, 3500 stall, the whole setup works great and sounds awesome.

I wouldn't waste my money on a 9" when the Explorer 8.8 is actually a better unit and plenty cheap at the pick-n-pull.
