1963 Valiant Wagon "Candy girl"

Are you going to run the drum brake looking parking brake thing, or go with a conventional slip yoke setup?
I have a conversation driveshaft that puts the slip yoke behind the flange. Pictures to come later today.

I don't know why people shy away from companion flange transmissions, there are a lot of ways around the driveshaft problem. The 4x4 guys have many solutions with readily available parts.
