Re: "West Coast" drive?
It is actually quite possible to build a west coast style drive system without anything beyond basic sawing and drilling. Our design last year could easily be converted to use live axles and direct drive on the center wheel by using commercially available pillowblocks and AM supershifters. Granted, certain parts would preferrably be different or customized slightly, but it would be reliable, easy, and cheap.
