How is the easiest and quickest way to change out the rear end? I have a extra 68 ZM rear end with the correct 3.36 gear ratio and posi unit that I want t put under it in a few months. When I disassembled the car it was quite easy but now that it is together I don't want to remove the gas tanks and the springs.
I read about removing the backing plates and hang them, pull the axles, disconnect the brake line from the rear end, un-bolt from springs and driveshaft and then man handle it over the springs. Would it be easier to drop the front spring cups and lower the leaf springs to remove it.
Just looking for some ideas before starting the task.
I also need a brake link clip that get welded to the axle tube if someone has one.
