72 3/4 ton D60 question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

DM · 01-30-2002, 08:03 PM

I'm just curious if anyone has any additional info that might help here. I have a lead on a cheap 72 Dodge 3/4 T 2x4 with a six banger. Here's what I know it's a D60 8lug FF. I believe it has the extra webbing around the diff too(HD). I'm not a Dodge guru, so do any of you "Dodge dudes" know what the axle width WMS-WMS is? I'm sure it's 4:10 or lower with the six in it. Is there anything bad/ good I should no about these.

-Thanks!

I really doubt it is the dana 60 HD, I have never seen one, and have looked at alot of 60's for one.. I mean, one ton 4x4's had 30 spline ones.. I bet that one is a 30 spline. Cant tell ya the width though....

If it has the extra webbing it is the D-60 but to verify this look above the pinion yoke it should have 60HD cast into the housing.The width should be 65wms to wms and it should have 4.10 gears no matter which engine it had/has.
