im looking for a dana 70HD dually axle housing 10 bolt for an 82 chevy 1-ton, anyone know where i can find one?

how different is it , if any, from the ford dana 70 81' ?

i believe a dana 70 is a dana 70 only difference is ford parts on the end like brakes n such is the one you have complete or just the housing, let me know then we can compare measurments. i know for sure it has to have a 4" wide axle tube the spring and shock perch can be cut and re-welded

it is a complete axle. just send me some measurements and i will get back to you. i keep it at a friends house and i can stop after work one day to check it out.

ok the measurment from outer part of the hub( actually axle shaft end) to hub is 83 1/2

if the housing is out of something other than '79 to '84 1-ton chevy let me know we may have take off the drums and hubs to get the actual measurment of just the axle just to make sure

axle tube width which is most important is 4"

10 bolt cover


and if you would check on the front of the pumpkin i think on the pass. side just up and to the left of the pinion check and see if it says DANA 70HD

apreciate all your help

Try over at CK5.com . There are a few guys who have them, and might be closer to you. I have a complete one, but I'm 1500 miles away.

you want to measure WMS to WMS (wheel mounting surface) thats what will matter in overall width. and perch width. you want a disk braked D80 dually. out of an '02 3500 Dodge.

i measured mine and it is ten bolt, but the tubes are 3.5. also no numbers on mine, i may be able to find the axle tag if you need to know more.

i have a drum axle i bought new drums and hubs races and bearings already installed i dont care about perches cause if there different i have someone who can cut and reweld them i will measure wms tomorrow if i get time from work and let you know all i do need is a housing i have everything else. i have it all together right now but i still have the old hubs so i'll measure the difference from the outer of the hub and subtract it.

to powershooter mine is a 4" tube and since im using my new drums and hubs i need a 4" tube to replace it. all together the drums and hubs costs me $650 so cant use anything else but apreciate the offer

what the heck are you guys talking about "10 bolt"

if its the number of bolts holding the cover its pretty irrelevant when talking about Dana's. People used that system to label Gm corporate diffs rather than ring gear size, thats it.

im just covering all the basis making sure the axle there talking about matches mine, anyway fellas i found one i apreciate all your help thanks.waytogo

Just a heads up, the ford version has a different Bolt pattern than the Dodge and Chevy ones. I will have a Dodge Dana 70 from a dually available for sale in about 2 months, if you are still looking then.

i found one diesel thanks anyway
