what axles for a 3/4 ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am getting ready to put this 8" lift on my '72 K-10 and with the tires I plan on running and towing a boat here and there, I want some bigger axles. So I am going to be looking for some 3/4 ton axles, hopefully out of a '72 so that they are the same year as my truck and I don't have to do as much fitting and linkage problems. I also don't want to have to remember all the different years I have on my truck.

My big question is: What axles am I looking for? I realize they are 8 lug, but what are they called and what are the ins and outs? I don't think I will be running into any problems when I bolt these suckers up... Thanks for the help guys.
