Looking to buy HP30 axle

I've been looking for a HP30 axle for the front of my niner.
I came across this one located about 2 hours away, will it fit in my niner and does this sound like a good deal?
craigslist

are you re gearing the rear or swapping in an 8.8?

it will bolt up no problem in the front. its a good deal. market value is 200 for the locker and 100 for the shafts.

also, you would need to swap to a 242 or 231 to run a front automatic locker

I had wanted to put a 8.8 in the rear but had to get my 44A rebuilt a few week ago, I would have to re-gearing it to 4.10

My 249tc was also rebuilt about 6 months ago.

As for the Dana 30, would change it to LS and sale the locker.

Looking at it closer I don't think that it is a HP axle.
Well, I will just have to keep looking.
