Big Bang Theory, Why is the nose of my Diff pointing straight down...

Well, progress (I think) to report.

Found a 7.25 rear axle, still attached to donor car, so, not only do I get a new rear axle, I get a whole bunch of other useful parts.

My car is a 75 Valiant Custom, new car is 76 non Custom. Mine has power disc brakes, and, power steering, new car is non power Drum brakes, and, manual steering.

One slight problem, my car is 5 x 4.5, new car is 5 x 4. Can I just swap out the axle shafts once I get the rear end changed over?????

Pictures tomorrow......
I'm a tad surprised the 76 is a 5x4. I was under the impression that they went 5x4.5 on all models by then. I know some 74s were still 5x4 for drum cars . Hnmn
