I've got a 1999 2500 quad cab long bed 4x4 with a dana 70 rear end that is going to need rebuilt and I need a temporary one while short on cash at the same time.
The salvage yard doesn't have and dana 70s but about 100 dana 60s.

My questions are:
Will a dana 60 bolt right in?
Will I have to modify my driveshaft?
Will my 8 lug axles fit if it was originally a 5 lug?

I'm not towing much at all at this time but I need my daily driver to not be down more than a day.

Thanks in advance!

 

Do they have any dana 80's? Im not 100% sure a 60 would fit in the rear and even if it did your biggest challenge will be the lugs. I think you might have to be down for a day or two.
