Thx kevin for the input on the front end. Since I posted that however a new dilemma has arisen...
I finally got the front brakes finished on sunday, and went to start checking the rear brakes, first I couldnt get the wheel to spin due to seized cylinders, backed off the brakes a little to get it apart, and as I was loosening the lugs on the now freed wheel, I noticed out of the corner of my eye what appeared to be the rear driveshaft "jumping". I grabbed the wheel and rocked it and sure enough the shaft was moving horizontally, I reached under and grabbed the pinion coupling and could freely wobble it around a good 1/4 inch. I havent gotten into it yet to see how long its been that way or the extent of the damage, I'm hoping its only just a bearing job, but if its been gone too long I might need some gears or worse, a housing. Since I'm pretty sure about this being an overhaul job I figure now is the time to look into fixing the one-legger problem at the same time, do it once and do it right,lol.
