Just like you originally told me that I was an idiot for "thinking" that IH
had offered a dana 70 rear?  Oh wait, now there's too much documentation for
you to deny that anymore. Just because don't agree with someone doesn't mean
you have to insult their intelligence.

In any case, just because Rockwell and/or Eaton made it for a larger axle
does not mean the IH varient only was availible for a larger axle... and we
havn't seen conclusive evidence that it didn't come in an RA15/20 yet...
