Rear axle seals?

The drivers side seal let go this weekend and slung gear oil everywhere. So I bought the socket and got it all tore down without a problem, So I just need to get the seal. I read back a little bit and it sounds like the ?Chicago Rawhide? seals are pretty good, but where can I get them? Are the NAPA seals any account?
Also, why does the service manual show that our trucks came with Dana 60's in the rear when I thought they were all Dana 70's

It shows the 60's axleshaft held in with bolts, which mine are, then the 70's are held on with nuts?

Thanks

Steve
