Answer 1

gm part # 26010414 fits 85-91 chevy/gmc C/K/R/V vehicles.  C/K/R/V is the 4th or 5th digit in the VIN designating the body style.  Usually on cars it's the 4th digit, and trucks it's the 5th and 6th.  Like a full size 2wd 1/2 ton will have 5th and 6th digits C1.  4WD will be K1.  C/K are the full size pickups.  6th digit after the c/k/r/v is the vehcile weight rating, 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton, so it will be a 1, 2, or 3.  R and V are the suburban and blazers.  Try also looking at www.car-part.com.

Trucks and suburbans share alot of the parts. As long as it is 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton make them match. That is a GM corporate 10 bolt rear. There are millions of them around. Can't believe they are hard to find.
