should i pull another eaton from junk yard for a spare parts axle? due to fact of them being rareish

Who said that they were rare?
They were the standard axle in these trucks, the 12-bolt was an optional piece.
AFAIK the standard for Chevy: HO-52 and coils spring suspension, with options available. The standard for GMC was the opposite: 12-bolt and leaf spring suspension, options on them too. Either truck could be had either way, but w/o specified options, you get the standard equipment.

If the snapping and popping you describe, could it also be a clicking type noise? You may have a no-spin aka Detroit locker. The noise is the engagement teeth racheting past each other. Supposedly the locker out of a 14 bolt will interchange with the ones in the Eaton. The difference is the inner axle splines. The Eaton has less splines (17 or 19 I believe) and the 14 bolt has 30 if I remember correctly.

Yessir, No-Spin (Detroit). You can tell by looking through the holes in the carrier...if you just saw gear teeth, it would be an open diff (you'd be seeing the spider gears). But there is just smooth metal, which means locker. Congrats
