Rear end woes/questions

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=474536

A while back I damaged my rear end, theres pics & details in that thread.. What I've learned since is that there was half of a gear floating around in my rear diff from the last time it was worked on (the previous owner) so it was just a matter of time before it broke some other things, maybe it was on the magnet all along & finally came loose, who knows.. I don't know how someone could make such a dumb mistake, but its done now.

I'm going to rebuild my rear end with new parts since I wasn't able to track down parts to do an easy swap. I was looking in LMC (just to see what all I need) & looking at axle shafts its saying that any 10 bolt with 8.5" ring gear will have 28 spline axle shafts, but when I took my axle shafts out, they were 30 spline. I'm really unsure as to what that means, & I want to make sure I order all the right parts.. I'm not going to replace the axle shafts, but I want to be sure when I get my side gears that they will be 30 spline. Can anybody provide me with some insight here?
