Default Dana 60 help!!!

I have an opportunity to purchase a rear axle and would like to know if it is possible to get it to fit the JK. If it is what would I need to have done to make it work? Here are the details. If you were buying it, What would you pay for it in this current condition?

DANA 60 HD REAR AXLE

4.11 GEAR RATIO
58" backplate to backplate
48" center of spring pad to center of pad
72" WM-WM
30 spline

It was off of a 75 Dodge Motor home

Im going to take a look at it in a few hours so any rapid responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

How much work are you willing to put into it? Trail rig only, or do you need to keep street functionality?

River Raider has an axle conversion kit you might look at just to get some ideas. (specific to a front 60 rear 14bolt combo, but as a parts list it may help)

And this one is for a front 60 build-up, but again, may help

The work on the front was extensive. is the rear just as much?

I wouldn't pay over $100 for that thing. Go to a junk yard, similar axles are not really that hard to find. 30 spline axles are the least desirable anyway.
