Dana 70 and 60

[Seadog716]

I have several Dana 70 and 60 axles from M715 military Jeeps. they are a six bolt lug 7.25" pattern. I am wondering if any body knows or has converted them to eight lug.I would imagine there must be bearing hubs from other Dana 70s and 60s with the desired eight bolt lug pattern that can be interchanged.......so I can install better rims than the present splint ring rims,which can be a real bear to change or repair tires.

thanks in advance
