the dana 70 still uses a 35 spline outer so no stronger than a dana 60 with 35 splines, where the 70 becomes weaker is there is no axle joint. I it is a "bear claw" design with fingers interlocking each other. The bronze bushings wear and are next to impossible to find. best bet to look for a Dana 60

dana 70 with closed knuckles came in old dodge power wagons and where 23 or 35 spline with 21 or 35 spline outers the steering joint is a tracta joint and as far as being strong i will find out i have 2 of them. power wagon parts and vintage power wagon can get parts for them
