Ya, bigger trucks have bigger metal to handle bigger weight.
The transfer case is where the bigger/smaller yokes are interchangeable.

Dana 60 and 70 will interchange yokes BUT 68 will have coarse splines and 78 will have the fine 29 spline.Many size yokes are available for your 29 spline diff.
I sold all of my sweptline trucks,except the invisible one. I just couldn't stand to see it go!

Doug,
What is the cut off year for the coarse spline yokes for the Dana axles?

For the most part, 68 is the cut-off, though in very few cases it can go to 70.
