Do you really need to swap? What is the current ratio of your 68 12-bolt? If it's 3.73's, that's a bunch of work for a very similar ratio. If you consider the $$ for replacement saddles for the rear end, the time it takes to grind off the old leaf spring saddles, welding the new ones on, swapping the rears, bleeding the brakes, re-hooking up all the remaining suspension, it doesn't seem worth it.
I would be willing to bet a lot of guys w/late model trucks & 3.42's would prefer the 3.73's anyway. Food for thought.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
