would like to swap my old enclosed driveshaft and original rearend for an open driveshaft for easier parts availability.  any suggestions for what later model rearends work with least hassle and availability.

80-90 camaro or imapala you will have to buy new spring perches  make sure you have the rear end centered and have the right pinio angel a good magnetic angel finder is only about 6 dollars

I just pulled a 10 bolt posi rearend out of an 81 camaro last night. 2.73 gear. good cruising gear if you're not looking for light to light performance. It's for sale. reasonable.
