With a 10.5" disc rear that would be a good setup. You could also go with a 9" and solid D44 from a 78/79 bronco. That would be a direct swap and there is a really good aftermarket for them, such as chrome moly axles that should easily hold up to the PS.

I heard you could get a 9" with the VSS in it, but also heard they were expensive. I was thinking about putting one in my '92 F150 beater, but I wouldn't have a speedometer.
