49 chevy truck rear end swap

[hoodlumkurt]

so i want to swap the rear end out on a 49 chevy truck. the truck will be running a 350/350 combo. i found a mid to late 80's camaro rear with posi and discs for a good price. my question is, will have any fitment issues? will i have problems finding a booster and master to run front and rear disc? should i just find a posi with drums? this will be my first rear swap and want to go in with as much info as possible. thank you in advance!

Kurt there are several different rearends that will work. I am using a f0rd 8.8 myself which is if I remember, abouit 58" from flange to flange.

Here are a couple of links for you to reference.
