You can put a chevy front end under from 73-up (obviously not the IFS though). It is about 5/8" narrower, but works fine in my 74 club cab. The steering arm is the same bolt patteren, but a dodge arm will have to be used. I would reccomend a 60 also, but they are hard to find. I had 77 full time axles under my 74 (for disc brakes) and they were junk. I have 37" boggers on it and the locking hubs were breaking almost every outing. I know have the 44 hd out of a 74 chev. and it still breaks shafts and u-joints. I dont want to pay to convert to moser/ctm, I would rather find a 60.
Good Luck!
