Unfortunately, I'm not very well versed on chevy rear ends. And a 9 inch ford would probably work great, but they are getting hard to find in junkyards, impossible if they only deal in newer cars. I know the ford 8.5 is a popular swap for some offroad guys, and they have the advantage of coming with disk brakes if you grab it off a 95(?) or newer explorer, but I'm not sure if they come in a width that would be useful to you. There must be a couple chevy boards somewhere out there on the www that could give you better and more specific advice than I ever could.
