Can someone tell me what 12-bolts will bolt up to my 69 K5?

The factory POSI would probably be the gov-loc which does not have a good reputation. Another issue would be to keep the gearing the same in both the front and rear axles. Since you were lucky enough of get an open 12 bolt , you can just buy a lockrite {$220 at jegs}, put it in and your set.:D
 
if its 4x4 k5 69-72 then only 72 older 4x4 or any years rear 1 ton axles will fit

69-72 4x4 are 40" spring perch centers

these are 40 centers too:

- 1 tons(C/K-30's) '60`s and up years(k-30 did not exist til 77)
-'69-72 k5's(4x4's only)(all 69's were 4x4)
-68-72 longhorns(C-20 C30 trucks with fleetside bed, these were built on 1 ton chassis)
-'69-70 9 foot steps(these were built on 1 ton chassis also)

shock mounts changed 73-up. but thats no biggie, yank yank

range of ratios you will find under the above models- except 69-72 K5's in which were 3.07/3.73:
3.54-5.13

no gov lok until in the 70s sometime, the 67-72 trucks were good old reliable strong clutch pack limited slip :D you can still find them around although most all of them are with 3.07 ratio,

dana 60 were powrlok
eaton 52 and 72 and 110 were no-spin i believe

and there was one more posi unit under gm trucks i forgot name and applications, id have to go and look

good lcuk
