Also unless you're going to fund my build I don't care that you would use a 9" Ford over a Dana, or a Glide over a 727. Have a great day. Good answer. How about an 8-3/4"?

They will most likely come w/ either 4.10 or 3.54 gears and hopefully you'll get the good powerlock diff. What years/applications used the powerlock? I haven't been able to figure that one out
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

Yes, the smaller axle tubes will make it easier to use the 8 3/4 shock plates and u-bolts. Mine had the 3.25" tubes and took some convincing to get the u-bolts on. NAPA has U bolts for the 3.25" axle tubes and they fit right through a factory Mopar shock plate w/ no grinding.

I prefer the side adjusters on the S60 over the shims of a D60.... and the 8.75+.25 is a great direction to go. Shhhhhh unless you are going to buy it for him he wants to do it his way. With a non Mopar Dana Corporation rearend.

Make sure not to pick up one that is the heavy duty like I did, It has two ribs by the cover. Way too heavy

Is there any reason why I couldn't cut down a Dana 60 from a Dodge truck to replace my 8.75. I am wanting to us that 8.75 in another A-body and figure if I can get a housing bought cheap I might just start there. What year truck should I look to get one from? What's a good price on a housing? If you want cheap look at the 9 1/4 rears. Don't know what you plan on using it for but around here they are dirt cheap. Don't know why they haven't taken off in the aftermarket? As for the Dana 9 inch debate it's been done to death.

I think the crush sleeve and taper axle housing and gear selection has made them not popular

No way I'd use a Dana 44. 8.5" ring gear. Doug The Jeep dana 44 hd has an 8.9" ring gear, and the pinion shaft is same size as Dana 60.
