i just purchased a 74 W200,its got a 318,727,NP205. mechanically its seems real strong,the body is another story,its pretty thrashed. i want to use it as a wheeler/firewood truck. the previous owner had installed a 1981 W300 dana 60 front axle so im thinking of upgrading the rear to 1 ton as well.what years/makes of vehicles should i look for an axle from. since this truck has already been altered, i dont mind deviating from stock even more. do i need to limit myself to looking for a dana 70 from a dodge,or would a GM 14 bolt rear or ford 10.25 in. sterling axle also fit? i realize the spring pads might be located differently, any thoughts from anyone who has done a similar swap????? thanx, bob
