Hell yeah! I love the old 67-72's. Especially the 4wd's. You don't see many of them running around. My dad and I built a 68 rcsb 2wd to pull my old Nova hot rod to the track. Just put together a bunch of junk and it ran damn good. It had a 307, saginaw 4 speed, & 4.10 rear. I bet you wouldn't have thought i'd build something with a stick would you? 
The Nova had a pro-shifted Muncie in it as well. 
Keep it up man. That thing's a 3/4 ton with a 14 bolt isn't it?
BTW- you didn't happen to sneak me out a Jerico from the NASCAR shop did you?

Pretty much the same though Kinda noisy, but way fun to drive, and if I'd been able to "sneak" one out, it would have been for me 
The truck is a 3/4 ton, but I believe the rear end is actual an Eaten 1ton dually rear end. Its got a 10 bolt round cover and is FF
and its 4 inches narrower track then the front. I think it's one of those ran out of parts on the assembly line thing. Cuz that's what it came from the dealer with. My dad went to put new bearings in it one time and bought the 3/4 ton bearings for it and they fell right though the hubs 
to small . It dosen't have a posi or locker, but I guess thats what the 4x4 is for

From what I have found I think it is an Eaton HO72 1 ton. They made a HO52 (3/4 ton) and HO72 (1 ton), the only differences is the brake hubs are bigger and narrower on the 72. Its got removable front pumpkin, like a 9" ford. Apparently they haven't made or used them since 72, so parts can be a little hard to come by, but it's supposed to be a stout rearend, 12.?? ring gear. It does have 4.11 gears though. Here's a couple pics
