65 + 9inch = confused

ok, as some of you know, we recovered our 65 El Camino after 12 years ater it was stolen...and mostly stripped.
so i picked up an A-body 10 bolt for the rear from a guy for $50 and its 2 long and the pinion angle is compleatly wrong. yea, i could cut brackets and reweld to make everything fit better and try to find wheels with CRAZY! backspacing to get the wheels to tuck under the fenders, but why do all that when i have a perfectly good 9in with 31 spline shafts...
i don't have measurements on the 9in at the moment, but im not worried about it... shortning of the housing is easy and i have to get custom shaft anyways.

So my question is what would you do?
Triangulated 4 link or parallel 4 link?

i plain to use stock coils at first, but may end up using coil overs before im done.
Thanks guys

triangulated 4 link all the way. and if you need wheels with crazy BS, you can use the desireable C5 or C6 Corvette wheels.

Thanks i was thinking the triangulated 4 link, but just wasnt sure what would be best.
And those c5/c6 wheels do have crazy Backspacing...but i think im going to stick with the Ralley wheels as thats what Grandpa had on it, and would like it to look as close as possible to what he had it looking like, Just need to figure out where to get a set of bed rails for it...been threw 100s of sites and cant find anything like them...I'll post a pic later Wink

Thanks agian.
