Chevy's best for your rig would be the Turbo400. However, as Ole mentioned, getting a strong t-case that would be drivers drop would be the challenge.
The weakness of the 400 is no overdrive - but I'm guessing gas mileage really isn't your main concern for your rig - so it really shouldn't be an issue.
Now, you could go with a 241 from behind a 4L80E that should bolt up to a 400 and be drivers drop - but their aluminum cased and chain driven, so I wouldn't suggest it for heavy duty off-road use.
You could porssibly get an adapter and run a Jeep 300 t-case? they can be clocked for drivers side.
Or get adapters for the drivers drop 205.
Or You could go with a 400/205 set up form a Chevy and trade me front Dana 60's for a passenger drop!
