I thought it was only the new cars that didn't have drain plugs any more, like the '05 Dakota I had. However, searching the '61 Pontiac Shop Manual does not turn up a drain plug either; just the fill plug as you note.

On my Dakota they wanted you to remove the back cover. But since you do not have one, I sure can't imagine "cracking" the front (if even possible with axles in, etc.).

I would suggest buying a small suction gun. That is what I did with my Dakota and it worked just fine. I always got out just as much of the old grease as when I removed the back cover.
