That's funny, I was looking at the same axle but on the club site. You're absolutely right though, looking at the driver's side axle tube, I don't know how the hell you'd mount the radius arms, it's all housing. The research continues, I'm not rushing into that purchase.

The other thing is I need to know what the WMS to WMS measurements are. On that note, do you know whether converting the rear D60 from drums to discs, will cost you an inch or two in width? I'm thinking in the end you might need to run spacers on an axle to match 'em both up.
Oh, and FWIW:
Dana 44 has an 8.5" Ring Gear with a 1.376" Pinion Shaft (26 Spline)
Dana 60 has a 9.75" Ring Gear with a 1.626" Pinion Shaft (29 Spline)
Dana 70 has a 10.5" Ring Gear with a 1.750" Pinion Shaft (29 Spline)
Dana 80 has an 11.25" Ring Gear with a 2.0" Pinion Shaft (37 Spline)
