Dana 60 Question

I have searched high and low in my area for an 8 3/4 rearend for my 67 notchback and have found nothing, not even at the junkyards. So, my brother is restoring a 72 GMC pickup and told me if I want it I can have the dana 60 rear out of it. I know I will need to have it narrowed, new axles, brakes, etc. but is this a route I should go since it is free? What do I do about the pinion snubber since this rear doesn't have one? I figured maybe if I could make it work I could have a bulletproof rear. Any opinons on this, not sure whether to go this route or not.
