I hope you meant $250.

The semi float 14 bolts are a 9.5" ring gear with a different pinion bearing setup. It's a good, solid axle - I think they are all six lug - more like a Dana 60 strength wise than the full floating 14 bolt. That's a whole separate beast from the van axle.
The semi float 14 bolts came in light duty 3/4 ton trucks.
