Lightbulb 64 SWBSS rear axle length and tubing

Hi all!

Ok, so I've been looking at rear axles for some time now.. one problem that has always put a wrench in the decision making process ( ok well maybe 2 )... keep the small block or go big block.. and how much to tub in the rear with out looking too pro street.

So I think I've made up my mind to go big block. But even if I don't I'd still like an un-killable rear that can run either down to mid 12's ( unrealistic but it's a goal with some fudge factor for strength)

So since I want to tub the rear ( small tubs or what is required for the tire / rim) and run a wider tire.. what length of axle to get? I was thinking of going the ford 9'' route through Moser as they have a 2 day turn around time and have everything welded on when you get it, custom width at no extra charge.. and it's a good name. I was thinking of running a 16-15X10 or 12'' .. is that too excessive? I don't actually have the tires next to the truck to check it out.. just what I've been thinking about..

I don't want to modify the frame at all or move trailing arms.. So I'm looking for some pics / some info from people that might have thought about the same thing or done it. Thanks!
