Jon,

I have that rearend listed at 62".  I haven't installed one in this year yet
so I can't give you any first hand experience information.  It probably
would work but you may need a negative offset rim.

Looks like you may be stuck looking into the late 50 or 60's trucks for a
replacement.

Check here for some possible choices
