Having all six volumes makes it fairly easy to tell what rigs to cannibalize at the yard and write em down on your yellow paper.
It may be worth looking over all four GMT400 parts books as well. GM used the same rear axles in those. Good possibility they are donors too.

GM dealer ordered in the left and a pair from a 86-91 for me. The left was perfect, the right was discontinued, and the parts for the 86-91 were to small. I have searched all my local salvage yards and there is not even one cannibal truck in my area. I even called some classic truck salvage yards in TX and no one had a right. One guy said maybe but wanted to charge me $75 just to look. Finding the right has been a real booger.
