Depends on what axle you have, I know they make kits for FF14 bolt axles. Is you axle full or semi floating?

He'll probably throw it in some water and let you know, neither it sinks.

I think the main problem is clearing the teenager (16") stock wheels, they hit the calipers.
this is the rear end that will work with 19s and up

This statement is a bit misleading, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A DUALLY!!!
So he doesn't have the wheel clearance problems we encounter.

Lets have a little lesson on rear axles shall we?
Semi Floating Axle
Full Floating Axle
I know the Semi Floating pic is of a 5 lug axle but you get the idea.
Also the SF14 will have a 9.5" Ring Gear while FF14s have 10.5" Ring Gear
Semi Floating
Full Floating
Once you know what you got, get on ebay.

Its cake to do. I did on my full floating 14. Got the disc brackets from here
Everything else you can get from a 1978 era 3/4 ton chevy truck, or a guy on pirate sells a complete kit
