When I did my swap, I also swapped over the rear end from a 71 C20. I'm sure this isn't in your plans, but it was great for me because I got your issue resolved. If you had a donor frame like I did, I'd say that's your best option. I also rebuilt all the front/rear suspension parts at the same time. I know you went the POL route, so it's a little different. Keep your eye out for an HO52 from a 71/72 and you can swap it over later.
