8 1/4 rear end swap

Thanks Dartnut for welcoming me aboard and as well as your detailed response! Thanks to Jaws as well!

I was afraid you'd recommend a mid 70's A-body. I understand that would be the easiest swap but they're just not as readily available around here. I was hoping some of the late model Mopars would be an easy swap. Given that I just had my current driveline straightened and balanced (it gave off vibrations that would make any date night a success) maybe I can hold out a while longer for a mid 70's Mopar donor. I'm just a little anxious to get a nice aftermarket mag wheel and the small bolt pattern doesn't give me many options.
