Rear end swap

Just got done changing the rear axle in my truck, bought a ebay dana 70 out of a '98 E350 dually ambulance with disc brakes, 4.10's and limited slip. came with a healthy set of leaf springs that weren't even rusty yet. moved the spring mounts in two inches and found the corret u-joint flange/yoke and it was a direct bolt in. even had the abs connector on it. and I don't have to use the spacers for the dual wheels anymore.

Re: Rear end swap

MAN!, that just what I'm looking to do. How much did the 70 cost you?

Re: Rear end swap
