Not yet, I am machining a few sets next week and once machine time is determined,,,, I can put a cost to them. I do however expect the pricing to be similar as the "weld-on" kits I sell since they are very similar, and as you may or may not know those are $900.00 a set.
Additionally, the basic kit for this "bolt-on" setup will include the axle seal and ARP hardware. Appreciate your interest! Thanks!!

I do not think any questions are stupid and believe that is how we all learn. To answer your question, a conventional rear with "torino ends" IS considered a semi-floater. This set-up would fall closer into the full floater category.
In a nutshell, with a semi-float axle, the axle shaft both carries the weight of the vehicle and transmits torque which directly relates to the failure of bearings, seals, and ultimately piston knockback.
With a full-float axle, the weight of vehicle is supported by the axle housing-more specifically and in this situation, the C6/7 Hub/Bearing that is attached/bolted to the end of the axle tube. Torque is now transmitted by the axle shaft that carries literally no weight since the Hub/Bearing Unit supports the vehicles weight now...
