Check out these links, a bit of info, not real in depth, but a good starting point for research.

Did you consider a C4 Vette Rear end type of set up? The gear case / center section is braced with a torque arm (like a 3-link) and the wheels are set up like a 4-link. Yeah a real oversimplification, but I've heard that most mods that narrow the set up still retain good geometry with a hub to hub measurement as narrow as 58 inches .
These guys do a C4 Vette suspension on 50's trucks and tri-fives

And there are a few other shops that do custom C4 Vette set ups. They mostly cater to Corvettes only but some have done other projects.

And one of the guys in our club has a 69 Camaro with a BMW 7 series IRS. He liked it because it had the huge brakes, and the right hub to hub for his project. He went with cantilever shocks in the trunk. Quite a project but it looks sick, and it handles great.
