C-30 rear axle swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all, just picked up a 68 C-30 with a dump flat bed on it, but it has a slight bend in the rear axle from over loading I guess. Any ideas on what axles would interchange? I have an eaton out of a K-20 laying around here..are they the same? Or is the 1 ton axle heavier? Are newer ones able to be swapped in if I can find one? Thanks for any input on this subject, Gord
P.S. I will be hauling slab wood from a local Amish sawmill for firewood with it so it does get fairly heavy use
