i have a dana 60 out of the back of a 1970 3/4 ton chevy and am wanting to know if the spring perches are the same as an 86 1/2 ton
 
no, the spring pad spacing is different. just cut them off and weld on some new ones to the right spacing if its the axle you want to use.

I just put one D60 off a 70 C20 on my 76 blazer, so i will have to say yes.
I always thought that first gen trucks were like 1 ton, but I keep getting surprized. :confused:
I don't know if 4x4 and 2wd are different though, I got mine off a 2wd (C20) :D
 
thanks for the info guys, i went out last night and measered my reared under my truck and the dana 60 and its like between 1/4in to 1/2in different
