Fox,
For information on your rear end swap, check out
http://www.50chevy.freeservers.com/ There used to be lots of information on this topic in the Stovebolt archives, although I haven't looked there lately and I understand things were trimmed back a bit.
If you're interested in an kit that includes everything but the rear end (instructions included), check out Macgyvers in Lloydminster
www.macgyvers.com I bought stuff from them recently for my 51 PU and the kits are very complete. You are probably looking at $400-600 Canadian for a complete rear package including springs, mounts, shocks, perches, etc.
Good luck
