Easiest thing to do is to have a chassis shop remove the full floater housing ends and install new ends. Big ford pattern shold be good. Then buy aftermarket axles with 5 lug pattern. This makes a semi-flaoter 60 equivalent to the early 70's Hemi Mopars. This is not cheap, but not too bad. But building a rear axle is expensive. Period. You have the housing, figure $50 for ends, $125 to have them installed, $300 for new axles, $100 for bearings, bolts, retainers and misc., $250 for gears, $200 setup, $300-$600 for a limited slip. Figure $1000-$1400 or so to get it in your truck. You can take the opportunity to do a rear disc conversion same time. Add another $700.
I know, somebody can get this cheaper. I'm just ballparking prices. But you will spend the money no matter what kind of deals you get, less here, more there all shakes out.
