OK Grippy, this is the news you have been waiting for. The truck hooks up spectacular. I didn't punch it from a dig or anything like that and expect it to hook with street tires, but I got on it wide open from a roll and it puts down the power. The solid, positive feel through the upshifts is the part I like the best.
With slicks at the track I think this is the best hook up possible while retaining leaf springs.

That should work really well, just like a torque arm but you might want to consider putting in a couple of large heim joints on the back bone part. That way you can adjust pinion angle angle easily and such.

If I added heim joint(s) on the top bar only in the back I could adjust pinion angle without changing the lower bars. Are pinion adjustments a trial and error thing, or is there a general setting that works well? Right now the pinion is parallel with the t-case, perfect to keep vibration out of the driveshaft.
