I recently acquired a M715, I’m also new to the forums, first timer here. I have a 1990 d350 with 6bt. I’m thinking about swapping the entire drivetrain into the 715. Has anyone ever used the Dana rears from the dodge pickup?

Rears are pretty easy if they are wide enough to clear the spring packs....Measure between the backing plates.

Welcome! Many Zoners have done similar swaps and it’s alot of work but should be a good project. Some custom mounts and will probably have to redo the axle perches but should work. Might want to check axle width. M715 hub to hub /axle width is pretty wide.

So the dana60/70 in the rear of the dodge truck won’t fit under the M715? I’m measuring it all today so I’ll know by this afternoon. That will be a bummer.

I used an early '90's Dodge D-60. The WMS to WMS was great, Backing plates were wide enough but I did have to move the spring perches on each side and relocate the shock mounts.
