I would keep your 10 bolt. All second gens except the 70 came with the 8.5" rear end which is almost as strong as a 12 bolt. You can put an Eaton True trac and axles in it and never have to worry about the rear.
Also, you can literally bolt-on a set of disc brakes from a late model 4th gen F-Body (93-02 Camaro and Firebird) for practically nothing. You can get them at the salvage yards and swap meets for about $100 and be able to buy replacement pads and rotors at any parts store.
