hahaha, man it just feels like 2 tons. Its a 9 1/4" Chrysler. I was told it came out of a 74 Imperial with a 440ci. By looking at the gears it sounds right. the original gears were 2.77 and they were stamped with april of 74 on it. The pan obviously hadn't been taken off in a long time, so I feel like thats really what its from. Its got a chysler car bolt pattern, 5 on 4.5, and the strangest thing of all its got 12" disc brakes. I liked it because it was big and had disc brakes on it. I've never dealt with Dana 60's or any of the really huge rear ends, but when I picked this one up, i know it had to be getting close to twice the weight of the original 12 bolt that came out of my truck.
