Dana 70 and lug/ hub question
 

Recently I acquired a FREE dana 70 rear axle, believed to be out of a 1996 Dodge 2500. It has an 8-lug x 6.5" pattern with 9/16" lugs. Now, I plan on converting my Dana 44 front axle to 8 lug and install this 70 axle in the rear of my 1971 K10. So, my question is this- If I get wheels to fit, will I need Dodge rear wheels and GM front wheels due to the thickness of the rear studs vs the front studs? Or, can I replace the rear hubs with GM 14 bolt hubs? The rear has drum brakes. Whatever I can do to make sure that the front and rear wheels are the same in the end is the ultimate goal. See, I think that gm used acorn nuts and dodge used flat flange nuts.

Don't think GM wheels gonna fit on the Dodge axle. If you have aftermarket rims, then they will be fine. Also think the dually's used flat faced lugs, I think urs uses acorn style. Use whatever the rims use.
