Rear wheels locked up and will not turn

by Dean Baskett
(Wetumpka, AL)

We were driving the 75 not racing it either went to turn around to go back home. Rear wheels locked up. We couldn't make it move. Motor runs strong it was just rebuilt. 4 Speed Transmission was rebuilt as well. I am trying to figure out maybe the tranny is hung up and if so how do I get it back into the right pattern to find neutral? I was checking the parking brake but actually it doesn't work. But you can't spin either side of the hubs. We were fortunate not to be far from the house and used my car dollies to get it home. Burnt the wheels up but we made it. So I need help getting it fixed. Any suggestions would help.
