International Dana 70 front Diff

[CrashMorriss]

I run across info on a 68 International 1300d truck that came with a Dana 70 front diff. Does anyone know the details/spec's on these diff's. and are they any better that the stock Dana 60 in the 715? Even looks like the same bolt pattern? Your thoughs on these rears?

That old Binder is a cool truck. Never see too many of them anymore......

The old binder is a cool truck. And the locking hubs will fit the m715.

Yep Porkchop has a set on his. From the info that tndoner provided. A 74-78 W600 Has 35 spline axles. Wms to wms of 70. Only thing I see at this point is the wheel bolt pattern.
I wonder if the 715 hub will swap to the w600.????

Doesnt mention the M715 on that page but it does say:

Splines: In my Spicer books all 67+ axle have 35 splines! Unless they are from a Ford F-350 truck with dual rear wheels. "1967-1975 Ford F-350's dual rear wheels & other" have axle shafts 34414-1 or 35368-1 and thus 23 splined 1.5" axle shaft. One note, they sure have a lot of No-Spins in them.

Ever want to swap in a dually axle....

is that truck for sale? i used to spend alot of time in guthrie county IA

One thing I haven't seen mentioned though: the rarity of the International axle is probably even more than the M715 axle.

I don't think it was for sale not sure.
