depends on original drivetrain and the info listed on your spid label, just being a dana 60 does not point specifially to a certain ratio, as 67-72 dana 60 could be 3.54, 4,10 or 4.56
so...... what was original drivetrain in it and what model is it ? model code should be first item listed in the Rh side column |

The model # is CE20934. It had a turbo hydramatic trans and a 350 according to the options sticker.

Is it leaf, or H.D. coil?
What is your RPM at 60 MPH...and how tall are your tires? I say pop the cover off the diff, chainge the oil, and count the teeth. |

I was unaware Dana axles had bolt designations like GM Corporate axles.

I knew about the differing model numbers. Just never heard of the bolt designation before.
