Re: FAQ or site to school me on types of axles, transfer cases, trannys for 4x4s?

the panel might have a eaton.
ive only seen a few and they had eatons so i may be wrong.

as for the rear if its a full floater, id just keep that and worry about the front. if the truck is already 3/4 ton, then all you need is a front end that is 3/4 ton or 1ton with matching gears.

if you go 3/4 ton, you can use( i believe )any 8 lug Chevy front. (given the gears match)
tcase you can either find a tcase off a t400 (with adapter) that will work (given spline count and tranny side tail shaft length match yours) and is the right side drop.

there's tons upon tons of great info on here so you might find it helpful to search around some.
