Axle Confusion

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.

About any Auto parts store should be able to get your axle seals or bearings .Apart number will be on the seals and bearings .You may want to take one side apart take a old seal and the bearings with you to the parts store .you can get the numbers off the parts you need call the parts store first .Your axle is a full floater

Thanks for the input everybody. And I apologize about the multiple entries. My computer is down, and this iPhone App for this forum is acting screwy with me.
