i left the axle in and measured the passenger side, down the axle tube, through the splines and touched the pin. the axle is almost 1/2" shorter than the measurement. I guess ill be upgrading to 1 piece gears.

Remember the center pin piece will move back and forth 1/2 inch. Stick the axle that was close back In and tighten down, then measure the other side again. Does one axle have an adjuster?
No factory car Dana came with 30 spline, 23 66-69, 35 70-71. 30 spline went in trucks-vans with floating ends, 8 lugs
