You are using an original Chevrolet truck axle? I cannot see thrust washers in either the parts or service manual. Either they are included with new gears or they are not used.

This page shows the small gear (the pinion) part number as 370225.
Here is an Ebay auction for an NOS 370225.

The same page above shows the side gear part number as 3652344.

Here are pictures of NOS 3652344.

I am not seeing thrust washers in any of those images.

Is there any chance your truck has a different axle? Possibly a Dana from a GMC or a later passenger or truck axle?
