Look at a 68-up Nova or 1st gen Camaro 10 bolt. These are about 60" over the drums, which is about the same as a stock 4WD rear. They are not a bolt-in - you will have to weld the spring pads. 64-67 A-body rears are also the same width, if you don't mind the lugs for the upper control arms.

The Astros I have looked at had 7.5 rears and they are way too wide anyway.
