TN looking for DANA 70 POWER LOCK

[BCOWANWHEELS]

GUYS I,am looking for a power lock for a early model dana 70 axle, for 4.56 and up gears and preferably 23 spline axle gears. these are whats called a 1/2" or .500 offset carrier. there made from late 1950's to aprox 1973. the newer dana 70's are whats called the .625 or 5/8" offset carrier and this wont work in my old housing. anybody got one ? I dont mind rebuilding it or changing the axle gears. if you think you have 1 send me a price delivered to 37664 and the I.D. NUMBERS OFF the case so I can make sure its what i need. these was in 1 tons trucks like special order chevys, ford, dodge, I.H. ETC.

you might want to see if your 14 bolt has a detroit locker in it and what gear ratio it has as these bring big bucks now days.

I will pull the rear cover tomorrow..... may I send you a pic afterwards? Not to kidnap your thread....

no problem. you count the number of teeth on the ring and pinion gear to get ratio and as far as a locker its inside the carrier and you cant see it without pulling & dissasembling it unles you can drive the truck , then just do a little burnout and see if just 1 tire pulls or 2.

I wish I could drive it, truck is stripped down to a rolling chassis. I can pull the covers off of both the front and rear though....

There isnt a cover on the front ! Just the back. Theres also probably a tag on the back cover bolt that will tell you spec's also on glove box dorr inside.

[dbash]

sure looks to me like there is a cover bolted on the rear and the front that could be taken off after the drive line is removed.... maybe I am wrong.

No reference to the rear axle on the glove box I checked.

Dana 70s were 73-up Big Dooley rears. You'd do better looking in the right parts board. No '72 or earlier GM trucks used the Dana 70.

[BCOWANWHEELS]

Wrong ! D70's was late 1950's and up and most was srw in 1 tons. The p/l i need is late 50's to 1973 "only" but thanks for your comments. I,ve dealt with 60's & 70's for almost 40 yrs.

[special-K]

Sorry,I didn't mean to hurt you feelings. I was trying to help. It sounds like we have dealt with these trucks for the same amount of time. I know the Dana 70 existed in other makes,but GM had their own rear and only began using Dana 60s in some 3/4t trucks 65-72. Then,beginning in '73 they started using the Dana 70 in dual rear pickups. In the 46-72 GM parts catalog there are no listings for any parts for Dana rears until '65 and only on C20,which would not be a Dana 70. They show no parts listings for any 30 series truck w/Dana. That,and in 40 years or more I have never seen a Dana 70 in any GM truck prior to '73. I know the one you're looking for,the early Dana 70 (no suffix) that was used late-50s into '71 when the Dana 70B replaced it. Good luck on your search.

Alot of rears got transpalnted especially when the early 14 bolt got hard to get parts for. I know what came in 67-72 trucks. Thats irrelivent. But unless you have or know who has what i,am looking for you shouldnt have posted. And you didnt hurt my feelins.

[special-K]

That's just it,I thought I knew someone who would have what you need. That's what drew me to your thread. It's important to know what the rear came out of,though. This is a 67-72 GM Truck parts message board and I never knew this rear to come in one and I said what I said because I know a lot but never figure I know it all. I did some checking and now know it did in fact not come in these trucks and there was only one no suffix Dana 70 w/.50 offset,which my friend does have parts for. I made a suggestion that there may be a better area to post your WTB since no truck within this range ever used that rear. I now know this rear was never used in any 73-up GM Dooleys,either. Many people offer unsolicited advise on this site,as that's what this site is about...knowledge as much as or more than just a marketplace. I don't need to be told where to post and when. And,I won't tell you either. It's not my place to tell you there is a WTB and misc. sale area here that would be the appropriate area to post your needs,which is why I didn't. I'll leave you to your search and,again,good luck.
