Re: '79 K20 axle issues
The 14 bolt uses screw style adjusters on the carrier bearings, so shims are not really an issue there....but the biggest factor is dealing with the pinion depth anyway, and there are shims there. The one under the pinion head is the hardest one to deal with. It has to be pressed on/off.
As stated, it is not an easy job, and generally not one for the average driveway mechanic. It takes a lot of patience and a few special tools. The investment in time and money is generally not worth it to learn to do a job that you may only ever need to do one time.
Done by a professional, you should get some kind of warranty too.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
