Sorry,nope. In fact to my knowledge not a single part is interchangeable between a super duty Dana 60 and an old body style Dana 60.

I figured. That sucks. Thanks for the confirmation.

Perhaps if you don't change anything or load up the truck.

I aligned my tires for my truck empty but two guys going hunting with crap in the bed and pulling a trailer will definitely throw off the alignment on a TTB, so what, align it loaded? Then when its unloaded it will wear unevenly again. I will try to align the front again with new tires but I'm not hopeful.

You must have some front end issues. My ttb Truck sees a loaded fifth wheel equipment trailer daily and my front tires wear perfectly. In fact they have 10k miles on em and look as good as day 1!

I would go with worn out front springs.
Or you need to figure put how to distribute your load weight better.

Load distribution I would certainly agree with, but nose high to me seems to point more to rear spring issues than front. In fact I would suppose worn front springs would reduce positive castor distortion because they should somewhat try to retain to their sagged upward arch (thereby fighting the addition of positive castor)

Could be. But too much tongue weight will always lighten the front end.
Talk about some fun steering feedback. Lol

100% on too much tounge. I have certainly had my fair share of
"Oh crap my wheels are turned but I'm still going strait" lol

Oddly enough, it has only seemed to occur when someone besides me loaded the trailer.....go figure hahaha
