Like Cass said in 1968 they finally smartened up and made the two piece side gears one piece. I know b/c I had one that the spiders and side gears were chewed up. When I bought the rebuild kit they were the one piece ones as well. But if you have the two piece and the splines are not aligned, take the axle shafts loosen the bolts on the carrier and turn until they (both axles) drop in fully and retorque the carrier bolts.
To clarify you are refering to assembling the SG assembly right? Not the whole assembled 3rd member...Once its on the car I can't imagine doing anything other than what I did to get them to line up.
I remember the 68 FSM had a detailed description of insertng the axles when assembling the SG case halves and tightening. Now it all makes sense...
