Dana 60 0r 70

Looking to put a DANA 60 or 70 under the rear of my 74 K20 and I was wondering is there any difference in widths of a Dana 60 from a single axle truck as opposed to a dually or is the only difference rims and lugs, axles from a dually.

Why do you want to change out the 14ff?? I'd rather have that over the 60 or 70, in less you want to go dually, then get a 70.

+1.....I see no reason to run a 60 over a 14.

Re: Dana 60 0r 70

Well the main reason I am asking is I am trying to get rid of my 10 bolt up front and put a dana 60 up front and most of the axles around here are sold in pairs. They seem to be getting very hard to come by I can buy a dana 60 front with a dana 70 rear but it's only a package deal, oh well just keep lookin.

Re: Dana 60 0r 70

You should just get that combo, the 70 has been said too be stronger, and a rear 60 is weaker than 14bolt from waht I have heard.
