Axels to fit leaf spring rear end.

Well finally got around to pulling the leaky cover off of the leaf spring rear end I have so I could get rid of that nasty oil smell. While the cover was off, I decide to go ahead and pull the axels and check the wheel bearings. Both bearings were pitted, and worse, so were both axels . I went over to O'Reilly Auto Parts and got the repair bearing kits, cleaned everything up and got everything back together. The new bearings should hold for a few years (truck is not my daily driver), but now I would like to score a set of replacement axels for the future. Anyone know if Blazer axels will fit, or am I stuck looking for another truck? My truck is a 1/2 ton, five lug. May have to go aftermarket, but I'll have a few years to look.

I'm thinking that the 71 to 87 is about the same....but verify that before taking my word for it.
