central axle disconnect delete

My dad has a 95 2500 that we want to do away with the CAD. Does anybody make a replacement passenger side axle shaft that is full length from hub to differential ? We have fought this thing for years and even bought a posilok cable setup and it has trouble. It is a farm truck so we would rather have it locked all the time. thanks

Here is exactly that:
Chromoly- Dana 60- Dodge - 30 spline- Inner CAD Delete

Also, there's ways to swap junkyard Ford parts for bigger splines, real bearings, and locking hubs.

That listing is for an axle for a Dana 60. The '95 2500's have a Dana 70, at least mine does.

Dana 60's up front, as far as I know 70's weren't ever used in a front end application, anywhere. 70 rear for 2500 autos, 80 for manual transmission or any 3500....2nd gen diesel or V10 all the same.

They did make a 70 dana front back in the 60's Kaiser jeep, IH, and dodge used them. I have a 1966 W300 power wagon with a 70 dana front and rear. The front has warn locking hubs and closed knuckles
