I was out and about looking for a Dana 60 today and came across two rearends that i dont believe are dana 60s, but am curious to know what they are anyway.
The two in the middle are the ones in question:


Here is a close up of the one on top.


And another close up.


Here is the one on the bottom.


And another shot of the bottom one.


Anybody know what these are?

The top ones are danas, probably 60's out of trucks.

The first one looks like a 60 out of a newer ford van and the second one is a 60HD

Neither one of these housings had a "60" cast into the flange like i thought they were supposed to. Is there another way to identify them?

never seen a full float 9 1/4, only 5 lug semi float (or 6 lug from a dakota)

9 1/4's also have a pretty much perfect octagonal rear cover.

Only the one on the bottom of the stack in pic #4 looks to be a 9 1/4 to me. There's also a 1/2 ton gen mot truck job in one of them pics.

Yea the one with the rubber plug in the cover is the 9 1/4. There were atleast two of them in the pile there. Also a few 9", some 83/4 and some GM rears.

I quickly Googled this up:

Here's the thing: a 44 looks very similar to a 60, it's just smaller. You need to Google around and get dimensions so you can measure the rear cover. Spicer/ Dana made all kinds of differentials, I think there's a 70, and there's a 53, 30, 20 something, etc. on down.

Well i pulled the two rear ends out today and had a better look at them both. The one with the two ribs is deffinatly a Dana 60HD. The one with the really wide rib, i am going to assume is a 60. The cover plates are interchangable between the two and many other measurements i took were the same.
The 60HD had this stamped into the ring gear:
7 8 77 DANA 30360 A3D94X 41-10 (297) the 297 was upside down compared to the rest.

The other rear had this stamped into the ring gear:
3 12 76 DANA 36787 B3D35X 43-13 (754) The 754 was also upside down.

Im going to assume the first set of numbers are the dates: July 8. 1977 and March 12, 1976. The other numbers are a mystery.

As far as the housings go, the 60HD only had "60HD" cast into it. I could find no other numbers on it.

The one with the wide band only had "C-37717" and "82-76" cast into it.

The both had 30 spline axles and neither one was a limited slip. I wouldnt be so lucky. However, I can have my choice, and the price is right..free. So would one be better than the other? Or are they about the same, just grab one and go. I lifted them up above my head a few times and neither is noticably heavier than the other, so i dont think weight will be much of a factor.

i'm no Dana expert but i bet those numbers are tooth count on ring and pinion. 41-10: 41 ring gear, 10 pinion. 41-10=4.10 ratio. 43-13= 3.30

Measure the axle tube diameter. The 60HD's often have a slightly larger diameter (3 1/8") than the regular 3" car axles. Not a huge deal but if you go with the larger tube you will need bigger U-bolts as well as redrilling/reaming the shock plates.
