Doing the same swap right now.. bought a parts truck from teeit up, and got them both in my shop building end to end.. my truck actually came off with only PB Blaster and my big cheater bar,, with a long pipe "extension" on it... the other was a differnent story.. had to cut them out with a grinder, no torch here, and then remove the trailing arms and beat them out of it with a sledge.. they were rusted in solid.. I plan on putting the bad rear end.. (bearings are loud and leaks through seals) back on the parts truck to move it around till I pull the engine for the 67 later this summer.. got cold and no heat in my shop,, so will wait till this weekend to get it finished.. got to go to chevy duty this week for U bolts as no auto parts store seems to have them???? they all say their bigger then they stock,, its just a C-10 with auto 350... hmmm... now the biggest concern is of course making sure it is all aligned... when I put the good one on my truck. Air tools are great,, if its not too rusted.. as the parts truck was, got to replace my rear brake lines too, as they are rusted so bad that I could not remove the rubber line.. so had to just cut it....
