Actually, you can buy a 14 bolt full floater for just a little more if not the same amount as a 10 or 12 bolt. Just run 15" 8 lug rims on the rear. As far as the bolt pattern... either carry two spares (like I used to do) or find a 10 bolt 3/4 ton corporate front axle and rob the spindles and rotors off of it. Don't forget about the front ring and pinion so that you have matching gear ratios.

If you were closer, I'd round up a new axle for you. I know where two good 12-bolt axles are that would bolt right in. Pretty sure I could get either of them for $50-$100.
