This is the precise reason I plan to swap in a GMT-400 era 10-bolt. They are a little bit wider than the 10-bolt used in Squares, and are 30 spline instead of 28 spline (so a little stronger).
It would make more sense to do the 14 bolt semi-floater from a 2wd light duty 3/4 ton truck. Then just have the axles and drums re-drilled for the 5-lug pattern. Or buy replacement axles and drums for a 454 SS truck.
*The 454 SS rear axle would be simpler, but good luck finding one for a decent price.
