14 bolt FF until around 80, and then 14 bolt SF after that

Were FF an option on 3/4 tons after '80? I've wondered about this for a while. Seems like I've seen plenty of later ones that had FF, but I know the majority are SF. Same for 3/4 ton pickups too?

My '91 has a FF, but that's because the PO swapped axles from a '77 3/4 ton.

Just the C20 Burbs with big blocks. Maybe the 6.2 got the FF too? Although I doubt it since you could get a 6.2/700r4 combo.
