The easiest "bolt" in mod is to just change the existing rear ring & pinion 
for a 3.55 rear from Patricks...then you can keep everthing else. If you want 
to convert to a later model rear with an open driveshaft you might want 
consider a late 70's Blazer rear with a 3.42 r&p...since it is 6 lug you can 
use your 
original wheels plus you gain much better rear drum brakes. Other swaps will 
mostly likely be 5 lug setups.
