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
