DoDges W300's from the early 70's had a 8 bolt dana 70 axle in them, something like 13.5" brakes (guessing here)I suspect that a W300 from about 1968 to around 1973 or 74 will have the 8 bolt brakes. Also there are some w200's out there with dana 70"s in them called it a snow plow option. The 3/4 tons had a smaller wheel stud and smaller and wider brakes. Not really interchangealbe with the 1 tons. Parts will not be cheap. Around Portland Ore there is a machine show "Dutchmans machine" I think they specialize in axle and bolt pattern changes. There may be a shop some where close to where you are.
