Hub question

Post by Hoss »

Does anybody know if a late model Dana 70 axle hub will interchange with a 68 Dana 70 axle? Thinking of swapping to an 8 lug setup on my W300.

I thought about doing this on a 62 DRW D70 a few years ago. A 80's dually hub will bolt up but the seal won't work. The front wheel seal from a 62 D300 napa part #28275 should fit. I never did do this because I didn't have any backing plates or brake hubs lying around at the time. I do have a set of brakes from a 75 motor home D70 lying around now, maybe I'll give it a try.
