WTB 14 bolt Semi-Floater axle - close to TX

As the title states, I’m looking for a 14 bolt SF. Prefer 6-lug 4x4 version (67 inches wide if I’m not mistaken). I would rather have an open differential as opposed to a Gov-Lock or Limited slip or whatever GM decided to call them at the time. I would love for it to be within driving distance to San Antonio, TX but shipping is a possibility. Let me know what you have laying around. Thanks!

The only thing I saw was this...

"Dana 60 rear end- 4.11 gear out of 74 3/4ton 2wd- $400"

Is it actually a 14 bolt SF??? Did I miss something?

I was under the impression that the 14bolt and dana 60 were the same, and what do you mean by "SF"?

Re: WTB 14 bolt Semi-Floater axle - close to TX

You are thinking of a 14 Bolt FULL FLOATING axle or 14FF for short, it has a 10.5 inch ring gear. It is different from a D60. What I want is a 14 bolt SEMI-FLOATING axle or 14SF which has a 9.5 ring gear. They are a little "lighter duty" than the heavier 14FF but still alot stronger than my stock 12 bolt.

See here...

Keep in mind we are talking 14 bolt SEMI FLOATERS, not full floating. Yes they made a lot of 6 lug versions in the 90s especially. Ever seen a 6 lug light duty 3/4 ton? They had them. In addition, a good chunk of Z71s had them if they were the high GVRW rating (6000lb I think), some suburbans and heavy 1/2 tons as well. Finally, they were behind 1/2 ton 4x4 6.5 Liter diesels. There might have been more, not sure. There were lots of 8 lug versions as well and they can be swapped to six lug REAL easy, I'm just not THAT desparate to spend the extra money on 2 sets of parts...yet.
