No it does not, one of the spindles are bent and that is why the machinist couldn't bore them out. You can have it if you want to keep blowing up rears.

Forgot to mention that it is a one piece carrier from an 87? f350.
I also need a set of spring plates for the 70 .

If you know the BOM# I could tell you or measure the carrier bearings. If they are the same size as the dana 80 its a HD. If its a HD man is that thing heavy.
