I am looking at overhauling my Dana 70 in the 93'. I have a good friend that has all the specific tools for spreading the case on a Dana 60 rear. Will these same tools work on the Dana 70? I am wondering what is the real differences between the Dana 60 and 70 rearends? I am specifically refering to Dodge 3/4 & 1 ton rearends only. Any insider knowledge/info would really help! Thanks

 

I didn't use a case spreader on mine an I've got about 60,000 miles on it so I must've done it right.

 

From helping a friend with part's he bought a dana 70 drw rearend from me and housing turned out to be bent only other rearend I had was out of a 85 drw so he put it in after changing gear's only thing that didn't bolt up was the Alb sensor everything worked fine

 

Hhhmmm............so the 70 and 60 are similiar? It would be nice to have more options for interchangeability.

 

Also a good rearend is a Corp 14 bolt from a 80's chevy truck has bigger brakes and other then a spring pad move and I believe a brake line adapter they bolt right in that's what I had in my first crewcab build and that's what will be under my new build in a few month's plus ford n dodge fit chevy on the wheel's
