What rear end should I be looking out for?

[andyd00]

Ok So I'm about to install my MII and 4 link kit on my 1957 chevy 3200.
So now is the time I suppose I should be looking for a rear end. But I am clueless when it comes to driveshafts and rear ends.....
I searched a past thread to find out the stock is 62" wide. But the thread was geared toward the AD trucks so thats all I got out of it lol.

I am gonna be keeping on eye on craigslist and classifieds for rear ends, but what should I be looking for? My mechanic said to look out for a ford 9" due to my power output. I found a posting for a rear end with disc brakes to a 2005 chevy pickup for 100 bucks, but he couldnt tell me if it had limited slip or posi or what not. Is there a way to tell just by looking at it?

Heres my specs of the truck if it were finished.
1957 Chevy 3200 97" likely will be changed to the shorter longbed.
2006 6.0 LQ4 turbocharged(8-12lbs) with 4L80E or 4L60
Nolimit.net complete suspension set.(Already ordered with air bags all around) http://www.nolimitparts.com/prodinfo...mber=CHPACK-55
5 on 5 lug pattern. Preferably rear disk brake. I want atleast limited slip like my 90 SS454 had cuz it was way too much fun.


As I said, I'm banging my head against the wall here. I never really paid attention to rear ends before.

Your wisdom will be appreciated!!
