Glides are fairly simple. You could just buy a kit and beg or borrow something to compress the clutch pack, and just do it. Some kits come with a video of what to do. Just go to Summit or Jeg's and check out what they have. One of the first things most do is put a TH400 input shaft in so you'll need on of them too. It's a stronger shaft and you can use a 400 converter.
BTW: Most old Motors manuals have complete instructions on rebuilding the Glide. Or, there are tons of books and articles:

I'm not smart enough to figure out where you are. If you're near Tucson haul it to Sharp's Automatic Transmission. It's in the book. He's very good and reasonable. And it will work right the first time.
