hi, the 1967 to 72 ford 1/2 ton pickups had dana 60 rearends. it has 3 " tubes, is the lightest housing. cut ends of and weld on mopar ends
I put one in a duster with fourspeed, its never givin me any trouble.
I had to buy a spool, gears and yoke to make it fit. very simple change over. also, it has passenger car ends.with flanged axles.

The 8 3/4 Moser fab housing is a nice piece BUT they are a pain in a A-body with a stock fuel tank and fuel lines, everything is very tight.
Also if you have the tubes braced on the Moser you will need to have the braces notched so the shocks fit.
That's what i use 
if u were closer i'll buy that center sec.

Hi,
My whole car is all weight revolved!! So I ordered mark Williams 28 spline good axles and had them machine out then heat treated!! Plus ring gear is cut back for weight!Killer strong and could put any centre section gear swap in anytime! Run a Detroit locker as well, no spool. Car is a true street car!
Helps that I have a good friend that does this kinda stuff!!
All steal body with stock glass, but sneaky lighting parts to make the car lighter, but look stock!!
Lol, it's just me!!!
I've never heard of any 28 spline Mopar axles for 8 3/4, let alone a 28 spline spool for the Mopar 8 3/4. Ford nine inch yes, but not Mopar 8 3/4   Your not a keyboard racer, car builder are you

Can someone explain the differences between 2-series and 3-series gears ?
Hope I won't run into any problems putting a spool and 4.56 gear !
Dana 60 never came with a two sereis gear, only down to 3:54.The Dana 61 came with 3.30 gears. The two most common Dana 60 carriers and spools are three series or four sereis, the three sereis works on 3:54 to 4:10 stock Dana brand gears and on the U.S.(Strange house brand also)4:30 ratio. The four sereis works on 4:56 and above on most Dana gears and most after market gear sets, not all though  When it comes time for you to buy a spool and gears make sure they are matched (same manufacturer if possible or same vendor )and intended to be ran with each other  I just went through the hassle of trying to find out what U.S. Gears, 4:30 ratio, fit on which sereis 40 spline spool  U.S Gear reps didn't know, U.S. Engr. didn't know They said to call Strange, Strange had already told me to call U.S. Gears I ended up calling a guy in Montana that use to own a rear end shop(J&S) in SO CA years ago and he said that the U.S. 4:30 gear sets will only fit the 4 sereis 40 spline Moser spools I bought a new one(40 spline steel spool) but I haven't swapped the 5:13 and Mark Willaims aluminum five seresi spool out of my new race car yet for the 4:30 and new steel spool, so I'm hoping he's correct  IHTHs

Good choice 
But then we also used OEM axles and they began to show twisting signs
