IIRC the truck dana 60's did not have the mounting for a pinion snubber. I don't know if you are using a pinion snubber, I'm no racecar expert.

this is correct , truck dana 60's do not have a provision for a pinion snubber , as long as you don't need one then you can use a truck housing . Just make sure it's not a dana 61 , also note some truck housing MIGHT have a bigger axle tube diameter .

Not all Dana 60 truck hosing and axle tubes are alike Some have 2.5 inch diameter axle tubes, some have 3.0 inch like the Mopar passenger cars had, some are 3 1/8 and some are 3 1/4 is what I have seen or heard of I am using a 3 1/8 truck housing out of a Ford 3/4 ton pick up. I have another Dana 60 out of a Dodge 3/4 ton long van but I haven't measured the axle housing diameter yet, it is real wide and has lot longer driver side axle tube than normal Hopefully it will work for my 1965 Dart tube chassis 4 link deal
