Does not seem to be much available for the Dodge Dana 70/71 Rear end.
Need to rebuild everything between the axles!

Dana 71 is dually version of Dana 70.

Is there any aftermarket unit available that will be cheaper/better than just buying a whole used rear end?

Happy with the Truetrac I got for my 10.25 Ford/Sterling.

Thats true but before we go and confuse people about the million types of 70's we should put a disclaimer that most are pretty simple and common to find parts for just use the old oogoole button and should have no worrys
