The rear end width and wheel size wiil depend on the spacing needed to get the tire under the truck. The way we did it when building a drag car was to place the tire and wheel under the car and check the fit. Then we would measure the width between the wheels to fab the rear housing. Not sure what year truck you have so the fit of a slick that big I can't help you with. I know on my 65 you could not get a tire that big under it with out frame work. As far as body panels depends what you need as far as who has the best stuff.
