Am swapping to Dana 70 rear now. will post som pics.

bottom line, D-60 has a 3" axle tube, D-70 has a4' tube.

still unsure if the yokes will swap over from the 60 but from what I have read they should. E-Brake cables are different where they connect to the brakes.

the axle diameter is VERY much bigger on the 70 than the 60. Axle tubes neck down to about 3.5 inches at the brake backing plate for some reason.
