no,, it has no taper and the 70 axle sleeves slide right on,,, i went back where i got it for some more digging and guess what i found ,,, THE HUBS,,, no we are talking!!! i bought it as a stock 70 axle,,, not knowing anything different,, when i got to work is when i saw the difference,,,,,,,,,, so now i have 2 unusual pieces,,,

i looked for an hour to maybe find the axle sleeves too but no luck,,,,,
