I also agree that removing the 14 bolt would be a step backwards unless you are going for a factory restoration.
I didn't think that there was a 1-ton 4x4 from 67-72, but a 3/4-ton would have used the 8-lug Dana-44 up front and the Eaton HO52 in the rear. Mind you, it's been a while since I searched for specifics in the forum. I thought that the HO72 was 1-ton and up, and typically had like 4:10 - 5:13 gearing.
