Default Express 1500 with 3.42 gear ration cant find new spider gears

I have trying to find new gears for this. The rpo code is Gu6 the 3.42. I have bought the standard kit for 8.5 10 bolt and its not right. Spider gears are shot. Anybody recommend a purchase sight or ideas. Thanks

If the spider gears are gone, how's about the ring and pinion gears? Might just be cheaper to put a good axle in your vehicle, since all that metal was tearing up your bearings. Sounds to me like a case of not changing the axle lubricant on a timely
basis. Its very commonplace with many folks, but axle lube wears out like motor oil,
