Another Dana 60 fitment question

[d fark]

I'm looking at a used Dana truck axle to put in my Satellite. Going to cut off the ends and weld Chrysler ends on. The axle is roughly 60" flange to flange. I need to be 57.8" flange to flange to fit the 73 b body. My question is do I have enough axle tube to be able to cut of the ends and weld on the Mopars? (Don't the ends slip fit over the tube and go on a couple inches?)
I would have Mosers do the work so maybe it's not an issue for them either way.

The new housing ends DO NOT slide over the tubes. They "butt" weld to the tubes. The ends are 2.5 -3.0 inches long so I think you'll be fine. Does MOSER do work on old axles?

When I called them they said they would do it. My thoughts are it better be squeaky clean before I take it in there. I have pretty much decided I would be money ahead just purchase a complete unit from them. I was attempting to save money by piecing one together, but at this point I just want to get it done so I can drive it this summer.
