Axle education needed

I have a 98 Silverado with the GM 10 bolt rear, and my 69 has the 12 bolt. Is there any significant difference between these units? I note that the 10 bolt, which is considered a pretty light duty axle, has a higher axle weight rating than the 12 bolt. Any info would be appreciated, and thanks ahead of time.

the 10 bolt is wider and also the 98 is leaf spring set up ,the 69 is a coil trailing arm set up /with pan hard bar (track Arm) you can convert eith set up just depends on how much work you want to due there will be som welding required
