Thanks. Yes, it's a open driveline. Somebody had done an update before I received the car (the later 235, powerglide and open driveline). Side Note: I just located a '79 4 door Nova complete and running with a 250 six, TH350.. all this for only $350. Perhaps the rearend in this car will work as well. Love the idea of buying the complete car and stripping it for the parts. What a savings of time and money!
