Yes it is indeed a ford trac-lock rear. I used regular dino style GL5 and when I realized what was going on I added the friction modifier. This made it smooth with no chatter. It still chirps the inside tire pulling out of an intersection if I get on it too hard. The fresh 276 with the 4.11 gears makes the old gal feel like a hot rod.
