Wbulk Any chance of getting a first name? I run a detroit locker in my car. They don't make a Torsen Gleason for a dana 44 case at this time. This is the idea posi to run, has worn gears and good for 750 HP Nascar runs them on the roadracing courses. I had on in my CJ-5 jeep for many years until the case cracked. Get 31 spline axles for the rearend. Look at the top axle makers for this like Williams or Moser. Clutches are good if setup right but need fluid changes if you are running the car hard or doing burnout while going around a turn. This with wide tires is brutal on the posi setup. Side note there is no real differents between your trucks and this car except the weight per pound. On a clutch plate rearend like a 10 or 12 bolt posi, I run them tight with an extra set of discs in the carrier, It acts like a spool and will still get one tire spin a little faster than the other. When cold fluid is in the carrier it just drags the one tire aroundon a turn. Clearances are real tight to do this. Rick L. Ps check with Curries drive lines for parts also.
