Need to extract the broken parts from your rear end if you are going to drive it. Trouble is, I think if you remove the spiders, there isn't anything left to hold the axles in place.... maybe just remove the two on the cross shaft, (put the cross shaft back in though, it holds the axles in place too..... sorta.) so nothing in there is turning that is currently broken. (assuming ring and pinion are ok.....) If those gears decide to jam up, you could grenade the carrier, and then the axles are free to depart the rest of the truck. That is a rather exciting experience..... and most certainly one I would rather NOT repeat.

Well as the search continues I just disconnected the rear driveline and am running it in 4wd. Might not have the funds to do a 60/70 conversion but I needed to wait a few weeks money wise before I could do much of anything. Thanks so much for the help. I'll probably have more questions when I narrow down what axles I'm doing so I'll bring up this thread again. Thank you.
