looks like the 47-5= 5.1 rearend is 60'' wide only 2'' narrower than the 55.2-59= trucks at 62''

i run a gen3 trans am rearend that is 61.5'' in m= y 58 w/ 3.27 gear, disc brakes and posi
how= ever... because i am lowered with the mustII, rear axle flipped on top of t= he springs with wider wheels and tires
i ha= ve a hard time getting my rear tires off. it requires jacking the frame not= the axle
and wiggling the tire out from in= between the hub and fender, not pretty but no damage yet :)

if your rear axle is= 60'' wide i recommend going with a 58'' max width axle jus= t to avoid my problem
if you plan on loweri= ng your truck, since you have the mustII i figure it's lower than stock=
if you want high mpg then go with a a 3.25= to 3.50 ratio, lower than 3.00 you may loose the power band

as for your trans, d= efinitely go with the 700r4, though the 200r4 is just as good
with the 700r4, 3.27 ratio and 350 sbc i get 20 mpg on t= he highway
i do have the gm ramjet 350 (350= hp and 400 ftlb) so my power band is a little better than most sbc
i can still burn the tires thru 3 gears if i want t= o=C2=A0
