Correct,
If you just want a rear axle look under a Chevy 3500HD, back when "HD" meant something.
If you want a front axle to match, and the rear axle, then the steering works best if you look for bread trucks and similarly shaped trucks, good luck finding UPS trucks (they keep most all of them). Also look for RV's, they typically don't get worn out. Even look for a long nosed Chevy van in the late 80's called a Vandura or something like that, or a Van 3500HD, same idea.
Both a friend and I sourced our rear axles from burned RV P30 chassis, a few years apart, but both were 1988 models...
