I have done this with a 58 when I was in High school, I only paid 200 for
the truck and drove it for three years, it was a little while ago.
Take a chain and the two bolts and bold the chain to the fly wheel only with
a little slack.  Hook a tow chain in the slack of bolted chain put some foam
or rags under where the flywheel will fall.  put a little slack in the tow
chain and give a jerk.  two or three of those and it should come off.  I
have pulled axle the same way.
