sounds like a good deal providing the posi is in full working order.

as far as the bolts try heating them up, have someone hold the driveshaft while you torque on those bastards as hard as you can. breaker bars are your best friend! and do not use an impact you will easily round those bolts off.

yea you need a breaker bar and some pb blaster or wd 40. use a pipe over the bar too if you have to. let them soak overnight in pb or wd and hit them with it a few times.

spray some rust penetrant on it and let it soak for a while. then take your wrench and have someone apply pressure to try to loosen it. then start hitting the area around the bolt with a hammer. this should shock the bolt enough to start it out. you may need to stand on the the piece of the drive shaft thats left, im assuming the cut part of it and left a little on. heat works real well too. accetelene or propane. put some vise grips on the bolt and heat em up. if that fails, then airtools are your next bet. they would be the easiest way to get em though

put a bar in between the u joint flanges to hold the rear form spinning then put a 12point closed end wrench on it. and step on the wrench it will come loose!

thanks for the help guys

i finally finished everything and took it for a ride, the thing pulls like crazy. I was messing around with my friend and his srt4 and i beat him from a dig and hung with him for a while from a roll( his srt is stock except mopar catback)

i actually thought the rear end i was getting was stock but was plesently surprised when i found the 3.73's and could tell it had been rebuilt, all the seals and stuff looked almost new and the traction lok works perfect
