How much wider are they? How hard is it to find replacement shafts for them?

They are 3" wider than a regular 14ff. Why would you want replacement shafts, when is the last time you seen a broken 14ff shaft? I'm not saying that they can't break but i've never seen a broken one yet.

so a van rearend in my truck with rims that have the same bs all around...it would make my k-5 front and rear the same or close too it being square?
Yes, exactly. That's why some people do it, they want the front and rear track width to be the same. You will lose some turning radius but you have to give a little to get a little.

The van width 14's put your rear tires out a little farther than your fronts. You will probably never break a 14 shaft, but I have seen it done on here a couple (maybe 2-3 times). There used to be a video of one breaking on here.
