1955-59 Porterbuilt rear drop member rear end?

Currently Have a 1959 Apache and wanting to run the rear dropmember for porterbuilt. Here is the question. I am wanting to run 5 x 4.75 wheels from a previous project. Anyone have any suggestion for a replacement rear end that will have that bolt patter and the right length to fit under the apache and also work with the porterbuilt drop member brackets(im assuming 3 inch axle tube).

Any input is helpful

Thank You

Porterbuilt is a vendor on this site why not shoot him a PM and ask him directly.

I have contacted them directly, but I was hoping to get other opinions as well.

More important is what wheel will you use?
That will dictate which rearend you use.
Or vise versa,...
