http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/brantford/78-chev-k20-camper-special/1186693588?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

so i found this 78 k20 for sale and to me it looks like it has a full floater in the rear, so my question is if it's possible for this k20 too have a 60/14 bolt axle combo

Semi-float axles began in 1981 for the lighter duty 3/4T.  73-80 was all Full Float

1k for that thing? you should be able to find a axle set in the junkyard for 300-500
