you'll find a 14b under just about any chevy 3/4 or 1 ton and make sure you get the full floater. if your looking at the tires and lug nuts on a full floater you'll see 8 bolts on the end of a flange sticking 3 or 4 inches passed where the lugs nuts are. if oyu don't see that flange then your looking at a semi float which you really don't want.

on the 60 front you have to decide what transfer case your gonna run before you decide if you want a driver drop or passanger drop 60. 1 ton fords are the only vehicle with a driver drop 60 and stay away from anything 98 or newer because they have unit bearings. if you go passenger drop then any chevy or dodge 1 ton will have those and there again stay away from 98 or newer

here's what a 14b looks like

the second picture shows what a full float hub looks like

oh also the 14 bolt can be converted to disk brakes very easily and it doesn't cost much

Ummm.... can i not run my stock transfer case. an i just seen a 14 bolt on c/l with rear disks but i think it was out of a 04 2500.

you can run your stock transfer case it just makes the front axle that much more expensive since it's only 1 manufacturer who uses them

what company is it that makes it, and how much more am i looking at. OR what transfer case should i be looking for.

as for the 14bolt momst of the 3/4 ton are semi float. the 1 ton are full float. as for tc it depends on what front you run. the ford 78-79 d60 are the best king pin and everything. but the hardest to find and most expensive. im sure you could run a ball joint d60 especially with it bein a mud buggy not a rock one. they are more readily available. and not to mention cheaper.
