Okay,
removing the thrust block wasn't so bad. Axles are still about 3/16" too long if the snap ring is supposed to fit flush against the backing plate, which seems correct.
I'm having an idea though. I've still got the C body axles. I'm thinking I'll use those axle retaining plates as a spacer behind the backing plates until I can afford to upgrade to a posi unit. Keeps me from hacking the axles.
