I am putting in a new driveshaft in my 65 mustang that I have modified to take the 8.8 rearend that I got out of a wrecked 87 gt. I had a custom made driveshaft that has the companion flange piece on the side that goes to the differential. How does this hook up? It looks like you might use some real short 7/16 or some metric bolts. Which direction do they go and do you use a nut or anything. I imagine this is a simple question but I thought I better ask as it doesn't look like you put any nut on the backside.
Thanks
