Is this a Dana 60?
 

I've always assumed that my truck had a Dana 60 in the front, but today a guy said it looked bigger than a Dana 60, he said: "looks like it could be a Dana 70" ..My truck is a 1990 Chevrolet V3500 Crewcab :fb:

Yes, that is a Dana 60.

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

Dana 60 and 70 look very similar. The main difference is in ring gear diameter, but you can't tell that from the outside. The easiest way to tell is from the cover. 60s and 70s use the same cover, but the casting of the 70 is bigger and part of it sticks out around the cover.

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

You got a 60. If you look at a front 60 right next to a front 70, you will see the difference. The 70 is HUGE, it's like comparing the 60 to a 44...

Just a side note
D60 has king pins and on the passenger side two spring plate bolts to the axle.
D44 & corp 10B have ball joints and use u bolts.

Thank you very much guys!

The front of mine is stamped 44-8F What does the 8F stand for?

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

I am pretty sure that would stand for dana 44 8 lug and front.

Not positive though.

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

I've got both a Dana 44-8F and Dana 44-5F that are six lug
I've also got a Dana 44-8F that's eight lug

I don't think it means much at all.

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

There will be a "60" cast on it as well.

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

The 60 is on the lower right..

Re: Is this a Dana 60?
 

Yeah I have a Dana 44-5F and it is 8 lug.

So I don't think it has anything to do with bolt pattern
