Dana 70 Help

Does anyone have any information about what different year rear ends fit under an 85 f250 diesel frame? I suppose spring mounts would be the biggest issue but I am looking for direct bolt in. Thanks for the help.

Chassis cab trucks have narrower frames, so the rearends for them are about 4 inches narrower than a dually pickup. Does your truck have a sensor in the top of the rearend? Make sure you get a rearend that has this sensor if you need it.
