Dana 60 Axle Shaft lengths - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, snapped an axle in my 72 C25, and I have to get her back up and running ASAP (she's my daily)
But I can't find any sources to tell me the shaft lengths. I figured the shafts are probably different lengths, so I can't just use my good one to get them cut down.
I'm gonna be doing both sides so I don't have to worry about it again.
It also seems that the only company making 30 spline axles for this is Yukon.
Sorry if this is a bit scatterbrained, I'm just having a rough time after BOTH my vehicles were rendered inoperable within a month haha

Well, this axle is completely buggered. So I figured I should rebuild it with 35 spline axles, 3.54s, and a limited slip, but I'm still on a tight budget. Any recommendations?

Have you tried Moser? They cut me a pair of axles for a 12-Bolt rearend on a '67 K/10 in the late '90s, when GM/UAW had a strike going on and all the local GM dealers were out of axles.
Long time ago, but it might still be good.
Still running that differential on another truck as a Daily Driver.
