just a quick question, the part running from the gearbox to diff, what is that called? tail shaft or drive shaft or ??

cheers.

Can be either. In the Ford manual, it says Drive/Tail Shaft.

ok...

so what is the part which joins the wheels from the diff??!!

The part that goes from the diff center to the wheels is the axle.

Wheels are held on using wheel nuts if anyone is wondering :D
