This is probably worth millions. Maybe I can finally move in next door to Bill Gates. Decided to start cleaning Shag's Toploader and funny thing, I never noticed the details of the output shaft, even when I disconnected the driveline. Can anyone enlighten me. Talking about grinding gears. Yeah baby Yeah!

Based on that photo are you sure its a toploader and not a Muncie Rock Crusher? :p

That's an Oklahoma Toploader with an Oil field specific transfer case drive shaft set up.
Probably came in a 4 wheel drive Mustang that was a gift to some lease pumper for duty above and beyond.
Should have: OK 4X4 RUG Okie on the ID tag.

All those cars had some pretty neat options. My favorite was the fuzzy dice hanging from the mirrors that were actually global positioning sensors which lit up and played boomer sooner when the pumper was going the right direction.

Ahhh, the 4WD Mustang. I don't think they were made until a little later, so it was probably a resto-mod part. :) Link
