Re: 3500HD Dana 80

Bringing this back to life... I'm in a similar situation. I was given a Dana 80 10 lug from a 90's Chevy cab/chassis. Gonna rebuild it so changing out parts is totally cool as its gonna be totally rebuilt... but its 10 lug and my '86 3500 dually has the 8 lugs (and I had just bought 6 new tires so i'm not gonna buy new tires and rims).

My understanding is a Dana 80 is a Dana 80... Chevy/Dodge/Ford... its still a Dana 80. So the parts should interchange fairly easily (even if I have to change axles and differential, cause I'm going to anyways).

How do I get it to an 8 lug? Does anyone have part #'s or year/make/model to reference? Its a disc brake Dana 80 and I wanna keep it that way, the rest of the parts (axles (splines), differential, etc... can go) as long as I end up with a 8 lug disc brake setup.

Thanks y'all!
