Anyone have a chart of the weight and clearance of axles?

Dana 60 vs 9" vs 44 vs 8.8 vs 14 bolt?

There's a few more variables than that.

Full width? or Chopped 60 / 14?

Disc or drum?

Front or rear? I'm assuming rear because you said 8.8 & 14 bolt

The list goes on.

My guess would be from lightest to heaviest:
8.8 ~ 44 probably close to the same
60
14 bolt

Actual weights will vary significantly based on the above questions. I'm pretty sure my 60 rear is less than 300 lbs (maybe around 230-250) after converting to discs.

Try searching a little harder. There's plenty of this info already posted.

Dana 60 vs 9" vs 44 vs 8.8 vs 14 bolt? The ford 1979 dana 60 front weights 460 lbs. complete. The chevy 1979 up weight's 516 lbs. complete. steve differential eng. inc.

FROM what i recall..... the 8.8 is less than the 9" which is at a hair over 200..... the D44 Rear weights 240 now if something I said is wrong i appolgize but this is my understanding

FWIW I'm pretty sure my rear D 80 weighs more than all the rest combined.:eek:

So why does the Chevy weigh so much more? Does gravity have less effect on the higher pinion?:D
