    Dana 60 front axle

    Thanks for the replies, yes, my 78 has a Dana 44. I wanted a Dana 60 in my last build and wished I would have done it, so this build is getting it.

    205?

    I've recently purchased a 1978 K20 and I am thinking about changing out the 203 full time transfer case to a 205. The truck is a 350 with a 350 transmission, what 205 will fit? what is a 205 figure 8? What spline count should I be looking for? Will a adaptor plate be needed? Thanks in advance.
