14 bolt-dana 70 dually axle differences

[94heritage]

Ive tried searching for an answer for a few days now but cant come up with anything exact. can someone tell me the differences between the 14 bolt dually axle and the dana 70 dually axle? Will they interchange from truck to truck say if the dana came from a 3+3 will it go in place of a 14 bolt c30 truck? Thanks

There's a lot of differences depending on year, series, chassis, etc. These 2 articles should help map out the differences. If given the choice I would always go with the 14 bolt full-floater due to its simplicity.

@crazy4offroad is right, there are a ton of differences depending on what vehicle the axle came from. But if you can fabricate brackets/tab/mounts, then really the only criteria you need to concern yourself with is the WMS - WMS dimension (Wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface dimension), and the gear ratio.
