Yes, they did.
A friend bought one a while back but traded it away cause it was too much hassle to put into his chevy. He bought a chev dana 60 and bolted it in...much easier.

The dodge frontend was an 8 lug (of course) had huge drum brakes, was closed knuckle with massive 1.5" inner and outer axleshafts and some really weird type of rotating block "cv" joint system that somewhat reminded me of ball joint axleshafts.
Oh yah, it was missing one hub so he bought a pair of hubs for which were EXTREMELY expensive.
