They'll be basically the Democrats under Truman - I believe the socially conservative wing of the GOP to be about sixty years behind the times; there probably remains a not-insignificant minority of hardliners who are not yet comfortable about desegregation, though they will die off soon.

Thurmond was running against Truman because he didn't like the civil rights plank of the 1948 DNC.

Anyways, I think the influence of libertarians are vastly overrated by people on this forum.
