Re: need help to id this rearend,
I knew you would come thru longhorn man. Thank you! Is there anything special my brother should know about it? Besides the fact that it weighs 500 thousand pounds... lol!

Re: need help to id this rearend,
Looks like a Dana 60 to me. Look at the picture of the housing.

Re: need help to id this rearend,
My guess is a Dana70. It looks bigger and more stout. Can you show a picture of the whole axle from behind?

Re: need help to id this rearend,
See that "09" in the fourth picture? Flip that picture upside down and it will read "60".
Here's a picture of the Dana 60 I got from a '71 - '72 3/4 ton 2wd w/ rear leaf springs: ![]() Yours looks exactly like mine. I'm betting it wasn't a one-ton but a 3/4 ton truck you pulled it from. Do a quick Google search and you'll see that the HO72 looks nothing like what you've got. P.S. the numbers you really want for exact identification of a Dana are on the axle tubes. There are a few web sites out there that will help you interpret the BOM (bill of material) number.

Re: need help to id this rearend,
the photos weren't there when I responded... or my computer hadn't loaded them onto my screen yet.
That isn't the original rear in a C/30, the eaton was the only one avalible. The Danas in these rigs were pretty lame and shattered axle shafts pretty easily. |
