Inner axle seals - D70?

I should have taken the time to check into this while my axles were in pieces but I didn't. What I'm wondering is if inner axle seals, like are used in a front axle that press into the tubes can be found for a rear Dana 70 or if maybe the D60 inner seals may work for a D70. Anyone have any info on this?

as far as the rear axle there is no seals in by the gears if this is where u mean to keep the oil from going out the tubes the oil needs to get to the outter bearings in the hub (right or am i wrong ) ?

Yes, you are correct. I'm going to build a rear steer axle so I'll be cutting the tubes off a D70 and welding new C's onto it and then having custom shafts made. But I need to install seals just like the front axle uses to prevent gear fluid from running out of the tubes.
