Nothing stock out of a van or truck I have ever heard of will bolt in and fit your car You will need to have one cut down and narrowed and have new axle bearing ends welded onto any of those units. Be careful onthe axle tube diameters, the stock Mopar Car Dan had three inch axle tubes, some of the early Dana 60-1 had 2.5 inch axle tubes Some of the early 3/4 ton trucks had three inch tubes also Some of the later 3/4 to trucks and one ton vans had 3 1/8 and some ahd 3 1/4 inch axle tubes Not so good to work with for narrowing on a stock leaf spring car I would take my time and try and find a good used core that has the gear ratio in it that you wnat, there are a lot of the later model trucks and vans that have 3.54 and 3.73 ratio in them as well as a bunch of 4.10 ratio out there I have bought a bunch of them over the years to use for narrowing, I have found perfectly good units with posi also

I can promise you will be money and time ahead to call Dr diff or Moser. I drove up to Moser and picked one up and got a tour of the place. I would gladly buy from Dr Diff if he was closer.
i been doing some research..moser are really proud of their stuff,even with the shipping from DR.DIFF, he is probably alot cheaper?

I can provide a new, bolt-in S-60 Dana 60 with Track-Lock for $1875. Upgrade to True-Trac $300. Freight runs about $200. Most of my custom length 35 spline axle packages run $300 assembled, plus about $45 shipping. You can research options and individual components on my website: www.doctordiff.com

If you want disc brakes, use the ford torino ends and you can use the explored disc kit for 250, or if you use the small bearing ford ends, you can use the 2006 and up crown vic vented rotor rear brakes. Make sure who ever does the narrowing, they need to put the pinion angle 4* nose down because the perches are located on the forward third of the springs. Lessons learned.... the hard way.

Theres a guy that does what you are wanting done just north of you. I have bought Dana 60 parts from him before. (937) 765-0911 Im going to have him set up my truck rear for my 67 Plymouth once its mini tubbed. He has disc brake kits to. Its definitely worth a call.
