Yes the stock ‘69 rear end is a truck 12 bolt. In stock form it’s good for somewhere in the neighborhood of 500hp. With new axles and c-clip eliminators people run a bunch more threw them. After that your looking at a new housing like a Moser or Strange. So as long as your LS isn’t running some crazy power you already have a great rear end.

As far as gears like a bunch of guys have posted it really depends on your trans, tire height, and what you plan to do. A rock crawler and a highway cruiser need very different gears.
