Aaah!
I just love the red Ultimas! The trailing arm setup is a killer!
Very, very nice!

That's a fine example you have there. Love all the period hop-ups too, you have to keep that one in pristine condition for the archives....

Who made those sliding axles? I've never seen any on an ultima before.

Those look like Robinson Racing telescoping axles. They made them, along with the diff, for a few vehicles. I have exactly the same diff/driveshaft set-up on my Blackfoot. The Thorp equivalent used dog bones rather than telescoping driveshafts I believe - the Thorp diff was pretty similar though. A very strong and sturdy drive train all in all...
See this link for a discussion on the same transmission system for my Blackfoot:
