Could be a Spicer 45 @ 3.92 behind a standard or 3.07 if it's behind an automatic. GM corporate would be 3.90. The corporate has a third member that pulls out. Spicer has a 1 piece carrier and axle housing. Your axle seats will have to be modified if you go to an open drive shaft because the torque tube keeps the axle from torquing. This is a quite simple task and the Old GMC site has some good instructions on how to do it.
