Hello, I am knew to all this rebuilding so I don't know all the tricks and kits that could possibly exist. So I need a lot of help. I want to get the rear end question answered today.

I am rebuilding a 1966 Chevy C20. I have a limited slip in the rear end. I want Disc brakes and I am trying to aim for keeping the original housing. (as it bolts up to everything right!)

Is there a way to make or rebuild that rear end into a 4:10 posi 1/2 ton (5 bolt pattern) with disc brake kit or is the tubes for the axles going to be to big? (I am sure there is a kit or something out there. Like there is for everything else.)

Otherwise what would you suggest doing? Finding a different rear end maybe 71-72 C10 Posi and put that in or a Ford 9"? I am assuming a Ford 9" will be extra extra work to get that put in.
