Default Re: No traction,sucks

The 7.5" rear is not a Trak-Loc diff. You should be able to pick up a used 8.8" for not too much money. I got a junkyard one for my '79 for $100 and just put in some new gears, bearings and seals.
That 7.5" will probably break if you try to launch with slicks.

Welding it up will get you the traction for a while, but I agree the 7.5 is not probably gonna hold with a set of slicks for long.
