The driveline CL is parallel to the chassis CL, front of crank to rear u joint, or should be, and is offset to the right 1 3/16' or 1 1/4" depending on who you ask.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

The offset depends on the body platform. Early A body is different than later A body. Later A body is 1.25 offset so pinion needs be offset 1.25 also. Race car guys usually put a Ford 9 inch in the center of the car since it looks better and the offset is almost right for a Mopar. I can't remember on a Dana 60 if the housing ends up in the center or not. It is close.

The passenger side axles are a bunch shorter than the drivers side axles on all stock Mopar Dana 60 applications regardless of year or body style Dang them Mopar engineers anyways

Stock floors and driveshaft tunnel, you aren't going to get the engine/driveline in the center.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

My old junker has 1 inch of offset to the right. Has/had stock floor and driveshaft tunnel.
