Dodge D70 front in SAS

I've got a 97 chevy k1500 which I plan on sas'ing. I have a kid locally that says he can give me a good deal on a dana 70 out of a dodge, hes almost certain that its a driver side drop. He's checkin for me tomorrow, but I'm also wondering what would be the differences between using this dodge 70 instead of a ford hp 60. Would I still be able to do crossover steering just like everyone else who is using a 60? Is it worth the hassle or should I just keep looking for a 60?

Please come school a noob. :rasta:

older dodge axles are passenger side drop, and since youre saying dana 70 front i assume it would be from an older (read early 70s) dodge. and the odds are also good its closed knuckle.

Or it could be a LP driver drop 60 out of a newer Dodge and the idiot thinks it's a 70:shaking:

If indeed it is a open knuckle 70 then crossover is the same as a 60. Only major difference in 60s and 70s is the pumpkin and outer stubs. But the kingpins are the same, so standard 60 arms will work. But, if it is a Dodge 70, then it's pass side drop, and your case is drivers side. Either swap t-cases, sell the 70 and get an HP60.

also possible. if this is the case, its not really worth swapping in over a hp ford 60, since its a CAD axle and some odd spline count like 32 or something.
