The Dana 70 was standard equipment and is, in my opinion, an ideal rear axle, even considering drum vs disc rear brakes. Keep it topped of with gear lube and replace bearings and seals every few hundred thousand miles and it will last millions of miles and a century or more.
My 1983 Sportscoach on a P30 chassis had disc brakes on the differential. For the life of me I don't know what differential it was, all I know is it was big.
