Rear differential question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, haven't had a chance to get pictures yet, but i need some help identifying the rear end for my truck. I was told by several that it was a Dana 60, it is out of a 1970 C20 longhorn with leaf spring rear. I recently had the guy who's buying the cab from my organ donor over and he said he didn't thing it was a 60. I have researched identification but can only find info to id a Dana 44, which has 44 cast into the ribs. I have no such markings for a 60. It is a 10 bolt with a 3rd member like a Ford 9 inch has. It has 8 lug drums. I don't see many markings on it as far as PN or anything, but i don't have the entire thing cleaned up yet either.

Any idea's?
