burnin oil, is this the kit you are talking about? I know lots of people use them on 73 & up trucks. http://diy4x.com/product.php?productid=17730

This company has some for 67-72, they look different than the 73 up flip kits http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/shacklekit.htm

The only thing with a shackle flip is that it may change your pinyon angle enough that your drive line will vibrate. You may need to use wedges between axle tube & spring to get the pinyon back to being on the same plane as the transfer case output shaft.
