You can use your stock torque arm. It's not ideal and not very strong, but it'll work. The style of pinion yoke on your 9" third member will dictate whether or not you can use your stock drive shaft. Some yokes are shorter than others, requiring a ~1" longer drive shaft. If you use a taller stock style pinion yoke, you can use your stock drive shaft.

If the rear your getting will fit a stock style torque you can use one of ours. We have adjustable non adjustable dom steel and chrome moly. Also would recommend a torque arm relocation bracket so you don't break the trans tail shaft.

Here is a great deal on a Moser nine inch housing and axle package.

Here is the driveshaft that I recommend.

I recommend the BMR Trak-Pak TPU001 torque arm. Here is a link to it.

If you don't have subframe connectors, they are the very first mod that I recommend.
Subframe Connectors - Absolutely necessary to keep your F Body from twisting and stretching. I have seen too many of these cars lose their door to fender gaps from having gone too long without subframe connectors. Subframe connectors will make the car handle better, you'll get fewer squeaks and the car will get better traction. We use BMR's box tube subframe connectors on most of our builds. BMR subframe connectors will not get in the way of exhaust systems, where a lot of the diamond style subframe connectors will cause interference when trying to run true duals.
Here is a link to the BMR subframe connectors.
