So, and please forgive all the questions. While I've done several jeep restorations, older chevy trucks are new to me. This axle stuff is confusing. So here we go

What years can I retrofit to my truck ? Moving shock mounts and etc. Doesn't bother me but I want to stay with the same width.

I see 14 bolts 10 1/2" 9 1/2" what do I want ?

If I find one with 3.73 gears what do I need to convert front axle, I assume just a 3.73 ring and pinion ?

And will the 3.73 be ok if I go with the TH350 Trans.?
