67-72 frame, Dana 60 front axle... which variation?

'72 Chevy 3/4 ton frame, long bed

14 Bolt full float, cab and chassis rear end

8x6.5 budds


I'm trying to decide what front axle to run, and get it bought this winter. So come Spring, I'll have something fun to do. Have a nice rolling chassis.

The truck is going to be a street machine. POSSIBLE plow use. Lowered, or at least leveled. Nothing crazy.

I know my rear axle will bolt right in, aside from relocating a shock. I would like the same to happen on the front...

Does it matter what Dana 60 I buy for the front? There's so many different variations and things to consider though. Kingpin or balljoints. Different steering setups. Gearing. Old or new. GM, Dodge, Ford, IHC.

Chevy spring perches are all 32" wide, the rest are all bigger - so I'd have to find a Chevy one. And obviously will need one from a dually. Lug pattern should all be 8x6.5, until the newer axles.

From what I have searched on the forum and read online elsewhere, it looks like any Chevy Dana 60 front dually will bolt right up. Is that right?
