Honestly.. Any axle from a 1988-1998 Silverado 1500 4x4 with the same amount of wheel lugs and the same ratio, which is rounded up to 3.42 for advertising and parts purposes. The 2500 and 3500 axles *can* be made to fit, but it's a real lot of work, as they are much larger and have entirely different springs and axle tubes.
