what years for the 14 bolt semi floater?

- Start date
My brother-in-law has one that came factory on his '91 Z71 1/2ton pickup.
I would guess the perches will line up.
There's probably someone that can give you better info, but hopefully this will get you started.

they only came in the IFS rigs so the perches will line up. I am pretty certain 88-98 chevy's had them. Like noted some Z71 1/2 tons, some simply heavy duty 1500s(no idea what makes them so special, guess trailer package), and 2500 Light Duty rigs have the rears. My dad had 2 2500 LD rigs. an 89 and a 95 both had 6 lug 14 bolt semi floaters.

Nope, also came under some pre 88 trucks, and a lot came in 3/4 ton 4x4 burbs. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I meant the 6 lug Semi floaters /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif My 89 3/4 ton burb has a 8 lug semi floater 14 bolt. As does my 97 3/4 ton pickup. As did my 95 K2500 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

The sf14b that came in my 90 suburban came with 3.42 gears.

same for my 89. but both of my dad's 6 lug ones were 3.73. My 97 is 3.73 and my 95 was 4.10. See in the 90s you could actually pick your gear ratio and it made a difference, nowadays if you want to buy a new rig with 3.73 gears they look at you like you are psycho and tell you it will cost you a couple grand more cause you have to special order it /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Actually, no. You can order a new truck with a number of gear ratios at no additional charge.

yeah but its cheaper if you take the truck already sitting on their lot and go out to a chevy dealer. You will find like 75% 4.10 gears at the least I bet.

I'd say semi-floaters are probably worth like $200.00 unless they *REALLY* don't have to be freshened up? /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif
