You want a 205/265 from 77 up (76 and earlier use a 10-spline front output.)
If you want a hydro 465, you'll need one w/ bellhousing from I think 85 up.

The one tons are out there!My buddy just got a '78 single wheel for $1500.And there is another one in the papers here for $2000,single wheel.There also is a single wheel at the junkyard with a 70 rear,60 front,400/205 for $2000.Anyway depending what you want any 73 to 87 chevy will work.My Heep has '77 sub 1/2 ton drivetrain in it.Just picked up a set of 3/4 ton axles today for it though.Blazin no more:D
