Good luck with that. All of the D70 shafts I have found have been either too long or too short for my D60. Unfortunately you can't re-spline a stock D70 shaft, so I'll be stuck buying some alloys.
You'd be boring the spindles, not the hubs.
Yup, my writeup should detail all of the sizes and dimensions you need.
True. Carriers are interchangeable, just be sure to pay attention to the carrier breaks. Also, don't get confused as it is possible to run 4.10 and up gears on a 4.10 and down carrier in a high pinion D60 with the use of "thick gears". Actually is what I'm doing with my 5.38s. Although, with the rear being a low pinion you can't do that anyway.
Maybe I'm missing the question, but why what?
Correct, as long as the locker's carrier is 4.10+.
D60 spindle nuts vary axle to axle. Which style is it?
No problem. Just make note on what style you have (hex, 4prong, or 6prong) before you go so you pick up the right one!

You don't have to get them custom made. If you want there are several companies (like Dutchman) that offer them for about $290/pair. There are also cut-to-length shafts (like Yukon). Those have splines longer than you need and then you cut the shaft to your length. Generally those run about $85-100/ea.
