I don't think the '82 driveshaft under your car will actually bolt up the the differential...the spacing on the bolt holes on the diff is different that the bolts on the driveshaft. Any way of getting the driveshaft from wherever you got the rear-end?

82 GSL has drum?

My 83 GSL had disc brakes in the rear. Maybe it was an available option those years? I remember because they leaked and I had to rebuild them. I think it was LSD too (if I remember right), but I never messed with that. Maybe I had a frankenstein car without even knowing it!
