Yes, I transplanted a Dana 60 out of a '72 Chevy 3/4-ton Custom Camper 402/TH400 under my '72 C-20, in order to get the 3.54s in place of my HO52 with 4.56s. Actually, I ended up with the entire truck except for the body, and want to get the big-block and TH400 rebuilt and installed in mine this winter. I haven't had any experience with the Dana 70 fronts, but have been into some Versatile Bi-Directional axles, which are Dana 70 HDs with drop boxes on the ends. To my way of thinking, the true Dana 60 front died when they went away from lockouts and started putting those goofy axle disconnects on them. I like Danas in general, but for ease of rebuilding and setting up, give me a GM 14-bolt any day. My next "toy" is an '80 Chevy K-30 with a 350/SM465/NP205/14-bolt/Dana 60. I hope to get it before the snow flies, and it should be a beast.
