Re: Take a look at my rear end, tell me what you think
Dirty Larry is correct. I pulled a Dana 60 from a 68 GMC about 3 months ago. I thought it was a 44 until I sold it to Tim Christian. You'll know the difference when you pick it up. It also was a 6 lug and had 60 in the casting. It was my first also.

Re: Take a look at my rear end, tell me what you think
I was able to take pictures of it after all. This is the original axle out of my 68 GMC C1500 with a factory 396/TH400, bucket seats, wood bed, tach, A/C. I have owned the truck since I was 15 and smeared a few teath off the ring gear back in the early 90’s. I pulled it apart years ago at my dad’s shop and happen to loose the brake drums and backing plates somewhere along the line. Being broke kid at the time it is been sitting every since. At least I still have the housing and axle shafts.
On the top of the center housing it is stamped 60-2. On the lower right flange it also has a stamp that says 60. The last picture is the carrier that came out of this Dana 60 (Right side) compared to the Dana 44 carrier (left) that came out of the front of my K10 when I swapped in a locker. The D60 is carrier is huge. Once I get all my K10 projects out of the way I can’t wait to fix this ole Dana 60 now we have been talking about. Got to get rid of the drum brakes on the front first!

Re: Take a look at my rear end, tell me what you think
I saw that one Uncle had and would have bought it in a heartbeat if it wasn`t such a chunk to send.

Re: Take a look at my rear end, tell me what you think
I have 69 CST half ton,396,factory 4-speed truck that came with a Dana-60 with leaf springs.It has the number 60 cast into it .It,s a six lug rear end.The Chevrolet parts book lists a Dana rear end with 396,4speed trucks..I,m sure now ,after reading this forum they must have been offered in other applications.

Well, you have to love the factory customization of these trucks, it is indeed a Dana 60:
