You are right the bolt under the differential is 1/2". The TA end is 5/8".

Thanks, I had a guy draw it from my car but done in a Rat Fink style.
I love the RS/SS, any pix?

I have a few polaroids from back then that I scanned recently.
They are on my laptop which I loaned to a friend.
I'll post them when I get it back.

Yessir, Rat Fink was/is cool.......
