Drive shafts from the half ton will not work with the Dana 60 yokes. The 60's will have a bigger yoke. When I put a 60 in the rear of my 74 power wagon I had to go to a rear cv drive shaft with a 1350 u joint I believe.I had 4.10's and a power loc and that truck went every where I wanted it to go.

I.needed the.cv.drive shaft in the rear because the.truck had 8" skyjacker lift springs on it and the pinon angle was to extreme for a standard shaft and also because I used it mostly for crawling so the shaft was also long travel. The power wagon had alot of mods done to it.
Btw I am jealous you.can get those 60's for $200 a piece.
