Do you have any self pull yards in your neck of the woods? THAT is where you want to check. They usually have a fixed price for all truck/van rears. $75 sounds about right for what I paid but I've got no memory. I know for certain it was under $100. If I went to the parts yards where THEY pull the axle then I'd be paying $400-$500 for the same axle. Shop smart . . . Shop "S"-mart.

pull-a-part was my next venture,but i cant call for parts availability, i have to go there and find one....its a pretty big lot so it might take some time.....im wondering, will the axel have a 70 where my axel says 60?? and, ive heard that they stopped using 70's in 94, is that true?? i hate to admit it, but if i find a 70 under a chevy for cheap im jumping on it!!!

There are no good junk yards within miles of here, unfortunatly. From what I have been reading on the net a dually 70 is normally about 73" wms to wms. Apparently the width difference is made up in the hub/drum. Maybe this was a mini motor home (basically a reworked 1 ton van) and just had single rear wheels?

My Dana 70 has 70-2 stamped on it. I believe the the -2 means it has a two piece carrier.
they stopped using Dana 70s in F250s in '85.
my 70 has "70-2" stamped on the passenger side webbing on the top. it is about 1/4" high.
