big bolt pattern

my buddy uses 8.8 from explorers. he buys a rear end, then another short axle. has a friend of his cut/weld the axle tube.
i have 3 8.75 housings but 2 are c and 1 is a truck. we own a narrowing jig. so not a problem there. have the axles also. guy close to here cuts and resplines axles, not sure of cost at this time. don't own a center section.
find an a body housing and axles but as high as they are, probably not cost effective.
probable solution- i have 7 truck dana 60's, a narrowing jig, 3 ls diffs, dr diff ends and perches,. can have axxles resplined ot buy dr diff axles. any of the above would be the solution but at what dollar amount for me to spend. overbuild and never need another rear end(dana 60).
you members are the best. lots to think about.
