Rear end update: I decided to keep the '89 10 bolt and just use some early '00's Ford Ranger wheels. The sidewall isn't too close to the fender well or fender skirts but the original Packard hubcaps I'm using might make it just a hair too close of a fit to jack up before you take the skirts off.
Since I'm keeping the 10 bolt I changed out the fluid and seals and got the rear rotors settled on the new bolt pattern.

A couple of side questions for you guys:

Have any of you found the body cushion 437004 between the overlap of the upper part of the front fenders and the body?
Is this a spot where it would be a good idea to place one?

I keep hearing about people doing a sbc swap like mine but I have only found pictures of one pre-war example. Does anyone have photos of a post-war example? Or know someone that has one?
