Default C2 Posi rear locked up

I have a 65 300 horse with a 3:08 Posi. Went to take a spin today and would not roll. Thought I had a frozen caliper but left rear wheel will not spin and I can wiggle enough to see pads not seized on rotor.
Right side spins when jacked up. Any insight?

Thanks, Daron

Welcome to the forum.
When you said it won't roll was that with the engine running and in gear? Only thing I can think of is maybe the wheel bearings are frozen.

Thanks for the reply. I had only tried putting in gear and going forward as there was a motorcycle parked behind. I was able to get it unstuck this AM but putting in reverse and gently letting out clutch. I believe it was in the rear end but no pop or alarming jolt when backing up. Have not taken out for a drive. I usually back car in then roll back the last two feet. Usually left in neutral.
