i don't need the rear seat. One problem i'm thinking about is the driveshaft may end up being too short, or there may not even be room left for a driveshaft. Although i know there is a kit available to make a short-shaft TH-350 even shorter. OR possibly use a transfer case and flip the rear axle around backwards (like the front axle of a 4x4 truck).
