Same as above. I can change out the axles for a set out of a 1991 3/4 ton Suburban. Should be bolt in w. 4.10 gears. I have a 30 spline Detroit for the 10b front.
I really, really like this truck a lot.

After looking at your signature, I can see why
. I really like it too. This is the first year I have driven it a signigicant amount. It goes down the road nice. The biggest gripe I have is that the gears (5.13s) are too deep for the 35s and it revs higher than it should on the highway. Taller tires would cure that. I just don't have the heart to cut out sheet metal that is in such nice shape to get them to fit. I may just cut the front fangs off and move the front axle forward an inch. Then go with 37s on H2s and see if that is a good working set up. Or maybe someone will buy it and I can focus my efforts on another project in the wings... 
I wish I had the money to buy it. This would cure all my problems in one fell swoop.

It looks like you have a pretty nice foundation to work with. And it seems like you are going in the right direction. Most importantly, you are out there wheeling
.I go to an annual wheeling event every year called Fall Crawl. I saw a budget built blazer that was keeping up with buggies. No lift, narrowed truck cab, and a rear steer 60 on 40s. There is also a lot to be said for lightening the load. I think the same effect could be achieved by putting an s-10 cab on a K5 frame. Do a hybrid cage after that and wheel the dickens out of it. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive to be effective off-road.
