Re: 67-72 coil suspension Dana rearend??

Chewy is right. The model should be embossed on the housing. The physical size difference is pretty obvious. A Dana 60 is way bigger than a 12-bolt. A Dana 44 is about the same,but obviously shaped different.

Were both of those leaf spring? I have only seen the Dana rears in GMCs. I have seen GMC coil rear Danas,but that is one rare bird to find (and I want a coil 60 something fierce!). If that Dana 60 is a coil rear I'd like to talk to you about that thing
