You do very nice work, a true craftsman with an old MV. I'd be proud to drive that one anywhere.
It doesn't look like you take any short cuts in your work, to just sell a truck for a quick profit <example:> you actually take the time to flip the rear hubs, so the rear tires track properly with...
It stops fine, with the 53's. No complaints with the way that it stops, other that the single cylinder, master cylinder. Every Deuce owner has that complaint though:( I do have all new brakes on the truck, so one with worn brakes, and that are also out of adjustment, would be a different story...
If it was me, I'd cut the center differential part completely out. Then weld in a new piece material, of the same size and thickness as the existing axle tubing in it's place. Axle housings are narrowed and widened everyday, and as for strength/integrity this would be no different. It would...

I'd route it into the exhaust pipe. I've welded many attachment-tubes to header collectors for guys over the years to eliminate their PVC system on high RPM V8 motors. Google "crankcase evacuation system" It'll work the same for you, with your smokey Multi. The rank fumes will go up the stack...
