Rich,
The 71 to 81 Camaro/Firebird has a 8.5 10 bolt that is 1" wider than stock, and they are easier to find. They do use a wider leaf spring mount though. Also the 1/2 ton trucks use a 8.5 10 bolt that is about 3 3/4" wider than stock. Maybe you could have custom longer axle shafts made, and bolt your existing brakes to this axle. Here is a link with good info on the 8.5" swap: http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/48518/
Good luck with your swap.
Craig
