Great minds think alike. Here is a post with a LOT of axle codes that might help you in your search. Also you might try a site such as searchtempest.com that makes multi-locational craigslist searches easier. Good luck!
p.s. In the future I would go to the IDI section of those forums first rather than the truck year. Possibly confirmation bias but, from my experience the IDI guys overall seem to have a much more in depth knowledge of their rigs.
I wonder if, 5 years later, Christ, rmay635703, or elhigh are still on these forums?...
I know elhigh is, since he and I just had an exchange in another thread. And I think rmay is... Christ I cannot recall seeing fr a while.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
Disclaimer: almost all highway,mostly flat, no load (except a passenger) - so by my own standards, this is sort of cheating, as all of the past numbers (including my previous record of 28.5) included jobs with loads.
Average over about 120 miles:
30.28mpg
.
30 MPG is incredible for that machine.....I need to really delve into this thread. Is your belly pan made from corrugated plastic sheet?
( BTW- if this hasn't been covered already, an M5R2 would bolt to that motor ( I couldn't tell if it was a 5.0 or a 351 but would either way). It has something like a .7:1 OD and a REALLY steep first gear ( like 3.5:1))
