14 bolt semi-floater or full-floater
#1
I am building 2 trucks right now and planning on buying a 3rd. The first one will be a daily driver (and occasional offroad) which is the 1987 Chevy 1/2 ton. Currently has 10 bolts front and rear. I am planning 35's with locked rear and either locked or limited slip front. I want to swap out to Dana 44 front and 14 bolt rear. I find lots of 14 bolt semi-floaters, but not many full floaters. Will the semi-floater be fine for this truck?

I am also building a plow truck from a 1975 3/4 ton which has a Dana 44 front and 14 bolt full-floater rear. This truck will be used for plowing, towing, and might even get a sander in the bed. I am thinking I want to keep the full-floater in this one. Or would it be alright to put this full-floater in the 1/2 ton and install a semi-floater?

Thanks for all the advice. If all goes well, I should find a K30 to build as a trail rig or might even buy a FJ40 that I found. Until then I want to get the 1/2 ton trail ready.
