I am in the process of replacing the rear brakes on my 74 Highboy Vin #F26YRU28517. I have new brake drums, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and all internal hardware (I think) ready to put on. I have an axle seal slinging grease on the old shoes, so in order to do this job completely, I want to buy axle seals and bearings for both sides. The rear is a Dana 60, but since I'm not an expert at this, I'm not sure if I have semi or full floating axles. Someone please tell me the correct style of axle seal/bearing kit for my Vin #, and a reputable company who sells it. Any help is appreciated.

 

A full float has the axle shaft is bolted to the hub.Semi float bolts on to the axle tube end and would require to remove the brake backing plate to replace the shaft.
