59 rearend confusion

[rwolf]

I have a 59 GMC 1/2 ton and I am really lost and confused on picking a rear end for my truck that is the same length. I have read that the 82-92 camaro rear end is the way to go, but then I read that this rear end is weak and the stock disk brakes are hard to get to work with the front 5 lug disk brake kit.

Then I read that the s-10 is the way to go, but can you find one that is the same length as my stock one and has posi and disk brakes.


Can you guys help me sort all this out so I can get one that will hold up to 400 plus hp and be the same length with posi and disk brakes.

Thanks
