Rod, you could use a 57 -64 Pontiac/ Olds rearend housing if you wanted to retain the stock look. It is not legal to make the stock rearend narrower plus the tires will be up against the springs if you do. A cheaper alternative is finding a 8.5 out of a Camaro or Firebird. Just as strong as a 12 bolt, but not as many ratio options.
