If you find an unmarked housing, you must either decode the BOM number stamped on the housing or take it apart, to detrermine if it is a Dana 60 or 61. Of course, Any ratios faster than 3.54 are give-aways. Unfortunately, there are 3.54 and 4.10 geared Dana 61s also.
Any housing with a "60" cast into the bottom right side web will be a Dana 60.
I recommend late 60's International, Dodge and Ford 3/4 ton pickups. Make sure the housing you choose is wide enough to be cut to your desired dimension and offset.

Chip, I don't know if this helps you out but i crawled under a few at the local JY and a couple (ford and gmc) both were 3/4 tons and both had a "60" casted on the center section,i believe on the lower right hand side(on the web).Let's see if Dr. Diff can concour with this info.
Jeff
Ps they had no older Mopar trucks,Kinda funny HUH.
EDIT* there is also a "C 30255 on the upper right hand side*
