Started off by dropping the rear leaf spring
Removing leaf from carrier
Unbolting driveshaft u-bolts from rear carrier
Notice front tongue is mounted to carrier via 2 long bolts w/nuts. Original 63 rear carriers had only 1 long bolt (at rear), with front being 2 short bolts threaded from each side.
First big challenge - we unbolted the rear cross-member, but the driver side sombrero would not break free.
Passenger side broke free
Driver side required a lot of Liquid Wrench and some persuation
Finally free
Rear carrier date code: 1968
