5 on 5.5 dana 60 rear end with castle nut hub

I saw this axle in the back of a 80' Jeep Wagonner and was wondering if it is a desireable dana 60 or like Corp 20 rear end in a CJ with 2 piece axles. I never saw this before and saw by the size of the diff that it had to be a dana 60, not a dana 44. I just pulled a dana 44 rear axle from another vehicle and no that this Jeep Wagonner axle is bigger. The front axle seemed to be a dana 30 or something similar like a dana 25 or something. This vehicle was at a wrecking yard and it said 1980 Jeep Wagonner, but it seem old like a 60's vintage Keiser Jeep or early 70's. Please advise.

thanks,

Troy

Early 70's J-truck is my guess.... the waggy's only had a D44 at best, and went to 6-lug by 74(?)

Would this be a desireable dana 60 with the castlenut hub end? It had 1 and a cotter pin. I don't need the axle as I have a full width 35 spline 9" with all the goodies, but I might still want it if it is beefy. I never saw 1 like this and be a dana 60 5 lug. I took at few takes because I thought all dana 60's were 8 lug 1 ton.

Thanks, very weird looking. I have a 35 spline 9" with the goodies so I don't need it.
