Not yet, I am machining a few sets next week and once machine time is determined,,,, I can put a cost to them. I do however expect the pricing to be similar as the "weld-on" kits I sell since they are very similar, and as you may or may not know those are $900.00 a set.
Additionally, the basic kit for this "bolt-on" setup will include the axle seal and ARP hardware. Appreciate your interest! Thanks!!

I do not think any questions are stupid and believe that is how we all learn. To answer your question, a conventional rear with "torino ends" IS considered a semi-floater. This set-up would fall closer into the full floater category.
In a nutshell, with a semi-float axle, the axle shaft both carries the weight of the vehicle and transmits torque which directly relates to the failure of bearings, seals, and ultimately piston knockback.
With a full-float axle, the weight of vehicle is supported by the axle housing-more specifically and in this situation, the C6/7 Hub/Bearing that is attached/bolted to the end of the axle tube. Torque is now transmitted by the axle shaft that carries literally no weight since the Hub/Bearing Unit supports the vehicles weight now...

That implies that you actually went into a corner hard enough to move the rotor and push the pads back..... Just sayin'.... Hahahahahahahaha

Full Floater System -

Installs onto any Rear-End that utilizes "Early" or "New Style/Torino" Big Bearing Ford Ends.


That's right,,,, you can use your current rear-end housing, NO welding & simple installation. BOLT-ON!


Advantages:

• Bolts to your Early OR New Style/Torino Big Ford Housing End (Chevy 10/12 bolt application now available! https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=52854 )
  
• Reduces/eliminates brake “knockback”
• Eliminates axle deflection
• Wheel & tire remains intact should an axle failure occur
• Front or Rear Caliper / E-Brake Cable Positions
• Utilizes the robust, zero maintenance C6/C7 ZO6 Hub Bearing Unit
• Utilizes OEM C5/C6/C7 Corvette, and 5th/6th Gen Camaro brake kits
• Utilizes aftermarket C5/C6/C7 Corvette, and 5th/6th Gen Camaro brake kits
• Utilizes your existing BAER / WILWOOD caliper & rotor (some restrictions apply)
• Super compact design compared to traditional style full floaters
• All advantages of a traditional style full floater without the maintenance
• Replacement parts available at local GM dealer or local parts house
• No modifications required to the hub bearing unit as other kits in the marketplace

Note: this applications will add 3/16″ per side to your existing wheel mount surface (based on an existing 2.50″ axle/brake offset)

Fitment: Any rear-end housings that utilizes Early or New Style/Torino Ends

Is that upside down?

I hope not. Currie built the rear end and I sent them the Miller Built kit as Jay said they've installed many of his kits. Can anyone else verify how this looks? Even if it is upside down, I still have to install the 3rd member, axles, etc. Plus, everything else is coming back off to get the chassis and rear end powder coated.

I didn’t notice it at first. But the parking brake mount is on top. I think usually it’s on the bottom under the axle. It should be easy to swap them from side to side. Just my thought Bill

I can verify that the pic from Currie is correct for OEM installs. I did change mine from OEM install to get the brake caliper in front (lower CG when applying the brakes) and also keep the brake pull coming in from the front.

I swapped out brake sides basically and keep the pull lever on the top ... check out the pics here from my thread:
