If you want to find junkyard stuff, look for a early ford bronco 9" axle housing with shafts, they fit well and accept any gear ratio.  I have also found that a 1981 Buick station wagon driveshaft is ideal with a cross over universal joint to the 9" to GM driveshaft.  This combination is good if you do not want to cut your firewall and are using a small block chevy.
