Ok guys, I have bad news about this car. I talked to the guy who owned it (he gave it to me, he just hasn't gotten the title to me). The dash with VIN has already been taken to the scrap yard on Friday so its basically just good for a few parts or a bracket car if someone wants to build it up. It was a slant six car, so I think your right about the tranny and rear, most likely 8 1/4. If no one wants the car outright (tranny and rear included), I guess I'll yank the steering, trans, rear, glass, and seats. I really wish it could go to someone that could salvage it somehow. I might stop at the scrap yard and see if the needle in the haystack is retrievable.
