Swap in a Caddy or Lincoln rear end. Same 5X5 bolt pattern from the 70's and some 80's model cars. All you do is move the perches. The axels also align the rear wheels to the same travel path as the front. Disc brakes.

theres tons of threads already created on people who have made their own like me, and captian fab. captian fabs uses 12" awd astro van front rotors and d52 (stock style) front calipers. I made my own with some 2004 style dodge rear brakes... havent finished the rear e-brake, but I'm running 13.8" rear discs at the moment and stops great with no work to the p-vave (for now).

13.8 Rear Disc Conversion for the truck 10-bolt in the works

the next brake conversion i will tackle is using c5 rear discs if rotor can fit over the axle flange. I know the fronts will not fit over the axle without machining down the axle... I will go to autozone today and take some measurements. This is the kit I will be replicating but for use with the c-10 rear axle flange. Ive got all the measurements i need except for the offset of the caliper bracket and backing plate. For that I probally will buy a spare rear end at the bone yard.
heres a few pictures of the kit thats offered for the f-body rears...
