I got a free FF rear ford axle, but I not sure what it is, I can't find any numbers on the housing except 840604 on the bottom of the pig.How can I tell the difference between a 60 and a sterling. I'm new to the Ford thing.

The sterling 10.25 doesn't have a fill plug in the coverand has 12 bolts
The 60 & 70 have 10 bolts and a fill plug in the cover
I might be corrected, this is from the west coast diff catalog.

Well it has a plug in the diff cover, a 70 is alot bigger than a 60. The only thing so far about the free axle is that its a 30 spline.

its a 60. On the dana rears, on the lower right corner of the pumpkin, you will see a 60, 70, 80, 53, 44 etc to identify the model. There is other ways, but this is the simplest to get you in the ballpark

Thats what I thought, I took a knife and still didn't see no numders in the corner.Thats why I can't figure it out.

Gotta be a D60
Sterling rears are 35 spline.
