So I pulled apart this 12 Bolt and see I need new axles and all the bearings does anyone know where I can get a good deal? The axels are 30 spline and I think they are 30 inches long. It's a 373 posi from the factory. Axels had pitting so I'm figuring just replacing axels and all bearings. I want to keep it 6 lug. I was told the rear end is out of a 67-69 c10. It's a track bar trailing arm coil rear end

That’s is definitely a c10 housing and it is definitely the Trac bar version. And it is definitely a posi. Bearings can be obtained at any parts house or on line . Each bearing and race will have part numbers and manufacture clearly embossed in them. If they were stock more than likely timkens.
The truck rears were not as tough as the muscle / big car units but still plenty viable. I doubt you need new axles.

Definitely need new axles where the bearings ride is chewed up and pitted.

About 25 years ago, I needed new axles to rebuild the 3.73 12-Bolt rear in my '67 K/10 Suburban. The local Chevy dealer was out and there was a strike at the GM plant that made them. I got a good set of rear axles with 6 lugs from Moser. Custom made -- to stock.
Price wasn't bad. Also had the shop put an Auburn posi in that differential. Sub went down with an engine fire on the 454, 20 years ago. [Sad tale for another time.] Towed it home. Ten years ago, the 3.73 Factory posi rear on my '71 GMC lunched. So I cannibalized the Suburban's rear [with the Auburn, Moser parts] and now it's running on the Jimmy just fine.

Found a set of motive gear axels that looks to fit the bill. Can buy on eBay or auto zone for $120 a side.

Dorman Axles are available at most parts houses. The one I bought fit nicely
