Hey Randy, I used the d60/14b from a CUCV and I just welded new perches and switched to disk brakes. Everything fit perfectly and with 4.5" bs the wheels look good.

I used an M1008 rear 14-bolt. Moved perches, had to rotate the calipers to clear the springs. Used 20x11 wheels with 3.5 b/s. Everything clears fine.

Will a 1996 3500 12 valve be a good fit
Prospecting a 1996 3500 srw as a donor truck for my m715 .... Rear axles front axles breaks , steering ... Etc etc ... It is not 4wd ... Would this be worth it to buy the whole truck 128,000 miles ... 2800 for truck in tact ... ? Any advice would greatly be appreciated !

Has anyone posted up the stock spring perch center to center measurement? I haven't seen it anywhere, but it would be helpful to be in this thread or the one Brute has for axle specs....Thanks!
Is that real money?

It is posted here somewhere...
But I dont have it handy.
I had to look it up several weeks ago, and wrote it on something, did my tests and moved on.
Let me know if You want the front or rear axle measurement, and I can actually measure what I have sitting on the used parts rack ( 2- stock 70's ) (1- stock 60 ) a newer Dana 70 HD with more splines, 8 lug and drums (1) and a 14 bolt AAM 1050.(disk , with 8 bolt lugs)
One of the latter 2 axles was only 1/2 inch off stock on the perches, I do remember.. and could have used it as is...
If I wanted 8 bolt lugs on the rear and carry 2 spares
I can get those measurments for you in the AM, unless someone has the exact specs handy again.
I think I was using WMS to WMS, and then also the perch width in my tests...
But I slept since then.
one more thing to consider is the "offset" of the pumpkin ( Carrier ).. as they vary from stock as well !

axle conversion

Since I'm doing a major restoration, I wanted to wind up with axles that have many modern options for gearing, lockers, and will withstand larger tires. Add to this from what I hear the older axles are reported to be marginal for long trips, and may not have up to date metallurgy.

did you ever find out what the WMS to WMS was on a CUCV axle?
