D30/35
60's
Hi9's
Rockwells
 ;D

What size tires do you have?  Stock engine?  Do you wheel or daily drive?  What are your plans for your rig?  Do you have tools?  Can you fab?

Based on your previous posts your best swap is probably just straight replacements with better condition axles.  Decent D30/35's can be found everywhere for cheap.  Kijiji and PNP are your friends.

The full size stuff will work but you will have to fabricate/have a shop do a couple things for you such as fabricate  safe crossover steering, and outboard the spring hangers in the front, will also need new driveshafts and mounts for the drivetrain. Be prepared to spend some $$$$
