Sorry, no pictures!

I found an '86 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup, and I am wondering if both of the axles are D60s. It has a 360 engine, and the sign on the window said "4speed with granny". They want $500 for the whole sheebang.

I am pretty sure that the rear is a D60, but is it a desirable one? What is the front? It appears to be a different axle than the rear - is it a 44?

Sorry, but I am not too good at identifying anything but Toyota parts!

Thanks for the help!

Probably a 30-spline 60 in the rear and a front 44. Cast into the webbing on your right (as you look at the cover) lower corner will be some numbers to identify it. You could also get the BOM numbers off the axle tubes and run them; more information that way.

it most likely is a 30 spline d60 rear and d44 front. sounds like a decent deal to me if it's a complete truck.

Ha!

Maybe I will have to take a scraper with me! They have about 1/8" of crud covering them - I was looking for markings :D

Thanks for the help. I suppose it is not what I was looking for.
