I'm intrigued by the Dana 70HD discussion, especially since I happen to have a spare one laying around out of a C-30 dually pickup. From what I can tell, the 70HD has a GAWR of 10,000 lbs. I've been looking for an axle swap for my 52 6100 truck but I'd like to retain the 16,000 lbs GVW since I plan to use the truck on the farm. Anyone know what the rear axle rating is on the 6100?

As for the 70HD, mine has the 8-lug pickup truck hubs and drums. Are the 10-lug hubs and brakes interchangeable?

Thanks
