Here is a helpful chart to get you started.

As for the ratio and posi thing, every car you look at will be different. It's getting harder to find posi rears, at least in my experience. But climbing under them at junkyards will still yield one occasionally. (try pickups, they seem to have them for some reason)

S10 4 x4 is a great match at about 59 1/4

I would have to remeasure mine to be positive, but I have used the 8.8 rears out of an explorer They are 31 spline axles and most have limited slip and can be had with drum or disc brakes. Common gear ratios of 3.23, 3.56,3.73. If I remember right are around 59"

Any early cameros, 69-72 novas, tri-five chevys all have rears with 60" WMS to WMS. May be more chevys around the time also.

I also vote for a Ford Explorer 8.8". They're very strong, and are 59 1/2" from WMS to WMS. Make sure you get one from an Explorer, as the ones from Crown Victorias are wider and 28 spline. I got mine for $150 if I'm not mistaken.
