Welcome to the shop! If it were mine, I'd get a 69-70 1/2 ton rear end with a 3:08 gear in it. Pretty cheap, almost a bolt-in, and will let you cruise in the hammer lane. Get the driveshaft too, you might get lucky and it'll fit with no mods.

The earlier years, 55/56 will also work but the 3.90 is pretty low. These and the years mentioned above will still let you use the same axles with 6 lugs.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
