I am resuing all the original parts. Remember this car sat outside, and bascially abandoned since 1986, and I have no previous history on it. So that is why I am going through everything thing. I have no idea what was, or was not done previously to it.
The reason I want to check the end play is that the rear axle had 3 shims of different thickness on one side, and a single shim on the other side. So I just want to verify things to make sure any previous unknown repair work was not screwed up. Based on the feedback here and via email I think I have the proceedure down now. Thanks.

How much too deep do the cups recess into the axle housing????
Can only happen if at the same time you force the cup out of the opposite side, and I don't believe there is enough movement of the thrust block to permit this.

Kev. U will probably need to have BOTH sides of the axle assembled. If One axle shaft is OUT and u are trying to adjust the other shaft then this could be causeing the problem......
If the differential side bearings are worn then that could be causing the problem. How much too deep do the cups recess into the axle housing????

The procedure given in Motors is as good as any. I guess I'm a bit suprised about the confusion, this is really pretty basic stuff. You assemble the rear axles and backing plates, tighten everything up and give the right-hand axle a wrap with a hammer to seat the LEFT hand race against the backing plate, and then visa versa. Then measure the end-play, it will be the same on either side as your just moving both axles back and forth via the thrust block in the center of the differential. If the end play is not enough, add shims, more or less equally on each side until it is. Each time you add a shim, whack the opposite axle end to seat the race at the other end.
This doesn't apply to the Dana/Spicer in the 56 Packards, or to the prewar seniors that used opposed sets of 2 rollers/cone bearings at each end. Those axles are adjusted independently of each other, and sometimes shims must be added behind the inner race as well. Here's the Motors Manual procedure. PS - I'll add the picture of the prewar senior as well. PPS - it's all about thermal expansion, that is, how much the axles lengthen while rising from ambient to service temperatures.

Kev. Does that mean u are going back together with the SAME parts u removed?????
Let me see if i understand this correctly: When the axle shaft is placed into the axle housing and THEN the cup is put in place then the cup slides too far into the axle housing recess leaving a space between the outer end of the cup and the backing plate sans any shims.
