VPW nos 3/4 wc rear axle shafts $65.00 ea is the best new price around. Early 3/4 diff covers are almost imposible to locate although I did find 2 at vintage after days of scronging. You might also try Dave Cirrilo look in 'parts' of PW forum for his email add.
You can make spacers using 2 old 1/2 ton covers by cutting out the center and using outer ring bolt pattern. 3 gaskets will be needed &longer 3/8 studs
Stacking gaskets will not work as more space is needed for the larger ring gear. Make sure you are square to the front gasket surface when drilling & tapping for 7/16 studs. Tech mannual Power Trains & Interchanges #9-1808C will help but what works on paper somtimes does not work in
real truck life. On the diff side you can make one gasket out of 1/16 material combined with a OEM (1/32) THis allowes for 1 less gasket.
