picking up a 14 bolt 8 lug for $100!!!

There is a 14ff and a 14sf so make sure it is the one you are looking for.
if it has a govloc then you will need to get a stock carrier if you want to run a locker in it. the govloc carrier has 3 crosspins, a stock carrier will have 4, it's easy to see once you remove the diff cover and rotate the carrier. 100 bucks is a good deal...

Both the sf and ff have 8 lugs. The ff will have a hub that sticks out about 3" vs the sf will be more or less flush with the wheel mounting.

Are you sure about that? I thought the semi-float version was a six lug axle.

The SF axles do come in 8 lug, my 90 3/4 ton Burban had one. There is also a 14bolt SF axle that is 6 lug, its not super common, but it exists.

I'd rather shovel snow everyday for the rest of my life than put up with any more of this 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity bullcrap.

There has to be a happy medium. Guess that's why southern California is so crowded. No mosquitos, flies or gnats there either, from what I hear.

Most people would agree with you. It can get so hot outside that I'm about to puke or get dehydrated from sweating and it not being able to evaportate, and my wife will say "It feels great today. Let's go outside. I want to get a tan!" Bull crap!!
There must be something wrong with me because if it gets over about 50, I get really uncomfortable.

Lucky lucky lucky. I may have to take a trip to Idaho soon. This weekend was a killer here in GA. I don't think it quite broke 100, but it was about 98 most all day with high humidity. I thought I was going to puke out in the yard trying to dig holes for fence posts. I think I drank about two gallons of water and one gallon of Gatorade. I remember last year on Father's Day I took my dad and uncle and cousin on a kayak trip and it was about 104 that day. At least we were on the river though so it wasn't as bad. Really when the temp gets up above 95 here, the humidity goes down a little so that's good.
