And do you think $300 is a good price for a 14 bolt?

It's an 8 lug. Every time I see that I die a little inside. That would be PERFECT if it was 6 lug
I just noticed the 8 lug part, bummer. I'll keep an eye out for a 6 lug, see them on Craigslist every once in awhile.

The best lead I've got on one is this one. $300 doesn't seem too bad honestly. I'm going to go pull the diff cover off and see what it looks like inside. If all is good, I'll probably buy it Friday

I'm not sure if the yoke can be swapped over. You would have to check the spline count and the pinion shaft thickness. If it is swappable, remember to mark the pinion nut on the shaft and count the threads that are exposed. And put it back together the same way and line up your marks. That way when you tighten it back up, you keep the same torque. Otherwise you have a chance to burn up the pinion bearings
