Advice and tips on doing rear end swap. 60-62

[HumphreyMurdoch]

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of doing a bunch of work to my '62 and I'm about to swap the rear with a '71 5 lug I picked up a while back. I'm looking for some advice and pointers to make sure I get it in nice and square the first try.

Here's my plan, tell me what ya think.

Use a plumb bob off the outside of the frame and measure over to the trailing arms for reference in case they move around a little with the rear out. No idea if they will.

Cut the old mounts off the '71 rear and set the new mounts and axle on the trailing arms and bolt it on, loosely, and use the outside frame rails again to check rear end centering and trailing arms.

Then check the pinion angle while at ride height and tack the rear and panhard bracket from the '62. remove it and weld it in for good.
