Going from LWB to SWB

Well my truck was rear ended about a year ago and the wreck twisted the frame a little. I went out and bought a SWB frame but I have a couple questions. My truck was a 79 C-10 but it had the Big 10 option. The rear axle was bent in the accident so I am trying to find a rear end to replace mine at the local yards and all they have are the regular C-10 versions. Can I use my brakes and backing plates on a reagular half ton rear end? Also when I get a short drive shaft will the u-joints be different sizes because of the heavy-half ton option? Someone please shed some light on this so I can get started on my truck.
