Good reminder, MO, and easy to forget, even after you've (...well,
I've...) done it a few times! And when I heard the BANG, I thought
"...oh, no, not AGAIN!)

Good how to, but they did not mention
one thing. When you are useing the hub puller, put the large
castle nut on backwards or use a soft metal block between
the tip of the puller threaded shaft and the end of the
axle. put the backwards castle nut on till it is flush with
the axle end. This is to keep the threads on the end of the
axle from getting deformed. Also these hubs can come of
with a BANG and the nut keeps the hub and drum from
flyingoff and hitting you............................MO

Do you actually have a real reason for
wanting to change the rear end?
It seems that your concern is that
it's harder to maintain your brakes, but this can be
overcome without tossing out your tapered axles. It's a
bit of work, but it can make things better in the future
without the complications of changing the rear end.
First you have to grind off the
greater part of your wheel lugs, then drill into them so
they will collapse when you hammer the remaining bit
through the flange, you do need to avoid damaging the
holes in the flange. Drums, new ones from NAPA, are not
expensive, get some new standard lugs out of a pair of
later model axles. 'Later model' might include those out
of a whole bunch of vehicles, like Dakotas, other
pickups or post-'65 sedans. If you want to retain left
hand threads you need to get these from pre-74 models
IIRC.
The next point I'd like to raise is
that I believe (though I don't remember where I got the
information, probably John Kunkel on Moparchat) the '64
rear end is wider drum to drum than other B-body axles
prior to 1970.
And then there's the issue of your
centre's spacer block being a different size, so if you
went to put your pumpkin into a later housing you will
run into trouble adjusting the axle clearances.
