Took me a little longer than I'd hope for to get it back together
Ran into a minor problem putting the rear shaft back in. The 78 uses the small Chevy ujoint where as the shaft I had to use had the big ujoint. Just had to wait a day for the one that goes both ways to come in
Took it out for a test run yesterday and does it ever run and shift nice:burnout:

Here it is almost all back together again
