If you could find someone that knows their way around them (id be thinking big truck shop), you might be able to run your 4.56s til the new center section is ready and just pop in the new center section? Wouldn't have to hassle with a bunch of research and fab work for hanging a new axle (that you may want to throw a new set of gears into anyway)..
If Im not mistaken, your axle is an Eaton HO72. I had one in a '57 Napco truck as a kid. Yeah, it was noisy and it leaked but it was a robust axle from what I recall.
