Swapping Dana 60/70 from 92 W250 to 80 Chevy K20?

[Niki]

I've heard the axles are the same width, anyone know this? Are the spring perches in the right spot? Any recommendations for springs on the front of a 80 Chevy w/ a Cummins in it? I need to put a Dana 60 in the front of my Chevy, it currently has a 44, and figure even if I found a Chevy D60f, I'd still have to swap gears, so I'd like to use my 3. 54 geared Dodge axles. Any help would be appreciated-Nick

Yes it will fit



you might need to ream the spring shackel pad a little and weld in new shock mounts .



I put a 44 in a 65 power waggon from a 77 chevy 3/4 ton

IIRC the Dodge springs are 1" wider than the Chevy and some people just push the springs apart that much. As for the shock mounts I just bent the ones on the Dodge axle to line up closer with the Chevy shocks.
