8.5" 10 bolt from a leaf spring Camaro or Nova is the right width and parts, gears and differntials abound. CPP sells a weld on spring perch and shock bracket kit.

Re: 51 rear end choices
1995 - 1999 Ford Explorer 8.8 rear end.
Do a quick search here on the forum. + Cheaper (Picked mine up for less than $120 including a sway bar from a Pick and Pull) + Strong (8.8 ring gear in them with 31 spines) + Posi (many of them came with Trac Loc) + Disc brakes I am putting a 1997 one in my '49 right now.

+1 to the Ford 8.8 out of the Explorer. I picked up 2 over the weekend from Pick N Pull, one for the 56 and one for my Dad's 65.
