But everything I've learned so far leads to a 3/4 14 bolt not bolting right in. I'm not arguing with anyone, I just wanna spend the money on the right parts.
Both a dually 60 and single wheel 60 will bolt in, the differance between them is the outer hubs.

A 3/4 ton 14 bolt is a direct swap. The spring pads and shock tabs are narrower on the 1 ton axles.
