Best rear end for '53 3100

I 've got a '53 3100 five window. It has a '72 250 six and I have a '72 truck four speed I want to use. What modern rear end will work with the least hassle. I'd prefer to stay GM (Nova, Camaro, S truck)
Goals are: lose the torque tube rear, highway friendly gears and easy parts availabilty. I'm also going with a 5 lug front disc brake conversion.
Thanks in advance, Bill
