yes.
the flanges might be different, you might need to mix and match driveshaft ends to get it to all work.

youll be right. the worst part of using 60 diffs for a 40 is that you have to completely cut off the spring mounts because the 40 mounts are narrower than the 60.
the rest is gravy.

What about the front diff? Looking into putting 60 diffs under a 70 series and the front centre is going to be tight with the spring perches

I don't remember off the top of my head but I think the 7x chassis is narrower than a 60, and the 60 front diff is going to make your life slightly DIFFicult (ha ha) so you might need to notch it a bit to get the perch where you want it. either that or just let it hang out one side more than the other
