Re: dana 60 help
Shortening is easy and cheap. Is the 70 driveshaft available? Pop the cover on the 60 and get the ring and pinion tooth count. Powr-Loc looks like this http://www2.dana.com/pdf/5315-3.pdf

Re: dana 60 help
You can do it as long as both drivelines have the same carrier bearing, but you will have to have the driveline balanced. However just a direct swap with nothing else, that would be a no. As far as finding a stud, you may want to post a WTB thread in the parts board. WES
