Re: Need info

I`d look a little harder for a light duty 3/4t 14-bolt.That`s your solution and they are plentiful everywhere.It`s odd what`s happening because the rear should last to the junk yard with standard tires and no abuse.If it was the same rear/housing it would be easier to figure.But,a whole new assembly each time?Why would an aftermarket posi make it last forever?The 6-lug 3/4t rears that are hard to find are the Dana 60s from 67-72.GM started building the light 3/4t 6-lugs in`88 and they were more common than the HD 8-lug option in the early years.
