The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Which is the most bolt-in ready rear end of these?

I'm looking at alternatives to swapping my 54 Chevy 1/2 tons stock rear end to a Nova or Camaro unit. I've been tossing up keeping it stock and finding some 6 lug wheels that actually look good, or having the rear axles welded and redrilled to 5 lug, and then doing a front brake swap (which I'll do anyways) to disc and 5 lug at the same time, so all 4 corners match. Someone on the Jalopy Journal pointed out today that 51-54 cars are 5 lug, direct bolt in, closed driveshaft, and have a 3.55 or so gear so I'd have better highway manners. He said he also thought he had heard at one time a tri-5 rearend is bolt in, has 5 lug, but is open driveshaft. I don't mind swapping a rear, or even having to get another driveshaft if I go to an open setup...however I'm trying to stay away from swapping to a later model axle due to the fact I have zero tools or skills to cut/weld spring perches, or relocate them. Wouldn't have the slightest chance to really get it lined up and centered in the fender wells either, so that's why I'm looking for the most absolute bolt in and ride option.
