for the axle swap i would check 4x4 magazine web-sites. just google them, there are tons out there and they always have tech tip sections about swaps and transfers. also check with the people at
www.offroadunlimited.com they sell things along those lines. my favorite chevy axle parts page is
www.offroaddesign.com they do all kinds of custom work and thy will also build parts to order, they are the best. hope that helps some.
