Re: 14 bolt 8 lug to 5 lug conversion

This is getting confusing...as I knew it would. I am not well schooled on the differences between rear ends i.e. Full float, semi float etc. Guess I need to do some research, which I should have done before buying this rear end. I got the hubs off yesterday which was fun since the brake shoes had welded themselves to the hub. It appears that the only thing retaining the axles to the differntial is a clip (that makes them semi-float?) I am going to pull the axles today and get a look at the differential. I found a stamping on the housing RAR G 1281 if that means anything to anybody. I would like to figure out what year this rear end is.
