very tough to find. i dont believe they make them anymore so the only replacement/aftermarket option you have is to find them in a junkyard, and they will most likely be expensive.

You'll need the whole axle, can't swap the 3.08 gears into a 3.54 or 4.10 D70.

I believe you are correct.....I'm not certain if it is the 70 U, but I think you are right. It is the housing casting that has the offset pinion bore to accept a pinion gear with higher tooth count that allows for higher gear ratios (lower numerically) than 3.54......it is the same idea as the D61.
