seems like mounting an r160-r180 subaru rear diff could make this possible along with the hubs and ebrake cables....hell even the trailing arms seem to have a mount...anyone?

Not speaking from experience, but it shouldn't be too bad other than making sure you have proper geometry/location. The fact that we roll on full frames is definitely a help. May be easier to adapt one of the "hot rod" IRS setups than a 510 type unit with the crossmember, but they are $$$. Lot of work and money for little to no benefit except for the obvious WOW factor IMO. (I should be talking, right? :roll: )

I had been following the pictures of Carl Jaeger. Take a peek.
