Dana 60s are very common and shouldn't be hard to find at all. Honestly I bet you could find one for 50 bucks.

Make absolutely sure that rear end is a Dana 60 HD, look on the axle tube webbing for the "60" cast in on it, and not a GM Corporate rear end GM made a lot of different corporate rear ends(after 1970) that look a lot like the Dana Spicer Corp rear ends Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

If you want to get it narrowed, contact Dutchman and use the ford big ends. It allows for bigger bearings and you can install the explorer rear discs that are an EXACT interchange with the mopar jeep grand cherokee. The calipers swap, the pads interchange, and the rotors are the same. Tim

It should have 3.125" axle tubes (.500" thick), the 3.5" tubes did not come about till the 90's and Chevy no longer used Spicer axles by then. If narrowed with car ends, the axle would be about 50-70lbs heavier than a .250" thick (axle tube) car Dana 60. You'll never bend the rear end though...
