Not sure where you live. I would check with reputable tranny shops in your area and your trusted mechanic. Ask them who is doing good work now. Rebuilding a rear end is not difficult but does require a specific set of specialized tools and someone who is careful with their work.
Once you find the shop they should be able to tell what modifications they think would work.

Stripped down my 66's rear-end after it started leaking oil a little from one axle, (it also 'hummed' a bit), I found the oil looked like black maple-syrup and pulled the centre section and found pitting all over the crown-wheel and pinion.
So got a workshop to fit brand new crownwheel and pinion, all bearings and seals.
Cost me NZ$1,200!!!!
