When was the last time you checked the oil level in your rear end?
As said, a '65-'70 12 bolt will bolt right in. I would suggest draining the oil, install a new cover gasket and fill with gear oil, plus a posi additive if applicable. Also check and replace the pinion seal if it looks questionable.

Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure the one I pick up is properly gone through before installing it back in. Don't need this headache again. The oil level seemed ok last time it was checked and based on the river of fluid I left behind me, it was full :-)
