No Plymouth Duster ever originally came with a Dana 60.

The answer is "maybe", need more info like method of mounting and overall width. But a bolt-in? No.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

You are asking if an axle that someone took from another vehicle and stuffed into a Duster would fit a B body.
I'm sure that people here would love to help you but with no specifics, it is impossible to give you an accurate answer.
This axle in the Duster could be from a 1 ton Dually truck and stick out 8 inches past the body on each side. Sure, it fits but it isn't right. No, that wouldn't fit the B body any better than it did the Duster.
If the axle was cut down and narrowed, maybe your question should be : "Would a stock width axle from a Duster work in a B body"?
The "A body" axle widths are approximately 3" narrower than a 68-70 B body. I had a C body axle narrowed to "A" body width for my Charger but later swapped a 66-67 housing in because the "A" body width tucked the rear tires in too far. IF you're starting from scratch, it makes it easier to decide.

Could be one of these from the seventies, still a lot of them around.
