HotRod 929 is a little too optimistic on how "easy" a 60 is to work on. To correctly do a diff in an early 60 (before the 80's or so) you need a case spreader to properly pre-load the bearings on the differential. 60's sometimes spin the carrier bearing race is their largest problem. They are more difficult to do a ring and pinion setup on because the differential shims are underneath the carrier bearings. Everytime you need to change shims to adjust backlash, you have to pull the bearings, swap shims, and re-intsall. All of this with the case spreader in place. This is to do it "right." Hopefully HotRod's doesn't have any problems.
