Welcome to the site, looks like a fun project, with a tach dash to boot.
I put a Lincoln 9" in my 69 and I love it. Make sure on the conversion you up size the yoke on the third member to one that uses the chevy truck U-joint so that it can handle the stress. A lot of 9" were for lighter car chasis and had smaller yokes which when put on a 5000 pound truck seem to fail quickly.
