I did search...
I went "shopping" for a rear end today, found a Dana 60 under a 1985 Dodge B350 extended van, the wreckers tell me that it's a 5500 lbs axle. I pulled the shafts and they are 1 5/16 30 spline, but because there's so much goddamn snow I couldn't figure out what ratio is in it. It's 64.5" wide and factory offset (perfect for my application).
So, could this be a D61? If it is, can I use it? I want to run a 3.54 gear and eventually an ARB with 35 spline shafts. Should I pass on the rear end if it's a dana 61? I didn't see any odd casting ridges..
Help!
thanks
