Jamie, try something out of a 57 car rear... I think they are the same width if I am correct. I have a 57 rear and looked at the one out of the truck and they seem to be the same width and you can pick up a 57 from someone with leafs and all pretty cheap, I had a guy ask for mine for 200-250. Try looking at an S-10 rear end as well. Good choice though, it's cheaper to keep the straight axle and like I said ,you can help the steering a bit by all new bushings and ball joints, etc and then get the steering stabalizer from Chevy Duty.
