46" pad width makes it an E-body. '69 date codes make it a '70 model year.

Mopar means never say never. that was true with all of the big 3 back in the day. Might have had something to do with the union contract clause that stated if the line was shut down due to a parts shortage the workers went home with full pay for the remainder of the day Maybe it was a warranty replacement axle for one that was defective. Possibly, but one would think the owner would have noted the one wheel squealer Dimensionally it appears to be an e body Dana. The open differential and BOM #'s are puzzling. possibly an over the counter replacement as mentioned. I am not 100% sure on the truck pads being on the top in all applications. Hopefully someone else will chime in, Where's Dr. Diff ??

I'm not an expert on the BOM numbers.
I can tell you the housing was made in 1970 for an E-body application. It has a 1971 spec Mopar passenger car 35 spline Track-Lock Sure-grip with a thrust button and an older set of gears someone installed.
I don't see a second set of numbers normally stamped on the housing, which corresponds to when the rear was assembled.
Doctor Diff, Appreciate the info. I'm a novice, especially when it comes to rear ends, so bear with me, please. How were you able to tell the "1971 spec Mopar passenger car 35 spline Track-Lock Sure-grip with a thrust button and an older set of gears someone installed" from one picture? As I said, someone else looked at the same pic and said it was not a sure grip. If the housing is from 1970, what did you see that made you say it was a 1971 set up (but with the older ring gear)? Is there anything wrong with what you see, in other words, could I have someone go through it and put new seals, brakes, etc., and install it with no problem? Thanks!

as I recall direct connection sold 2 dana 60's 44" 42" suregrip/posi, spring pads were shipped loose or not at all?
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

From 66-70 the unit was powr-lok which is a 2 piece case held together with 8 bolts had 4 pinion gears. The 71 unit was changed to track-loc with solid case and the open window with just 2 pinion gears on a shaft. Axle spline started as 23T and moved to 35 after 1969. Sometime during 70 production. Yours is an open window 2 pinion case.

If you're building a decent HP hemi the trac-lock is a lot weaker than a power-lock. If I remember Dr. Diff said it would last @ 400 HP, power lock 600HP, and the S trac I bought from him should handle 1,000 HP. The Track-lock can handle only 400HP?? If that's the case, why would the factory put it behind a 71 Hemi at 425HP?
