Dana 60
I have a Dana 60 with 4.10 gears in my '76 F350. Can someone tell me how many splines in the axles, and if they're retained with c-clips. Also, has anyone installed an Eton Detroit Trutrac differential in their Dana 60--pros/cons, etc. I'm looking to upgrade to some sort of limited-slip/positraction set up.
Thanks
Thanks

Axle code on the door jamb is 27J.
Re. D70--Is the diff cover different for a D70, cause I used a D60 gasket when I replaced the rearend lube. It's a "true" F350; as I said in an earlier post, I am the original owner.

The axle is retained by the bolts at the end of the axle, the ones that are visable when you look at the end of the axle. No retention clips involved. The axle floats in the housing, transmits power from the spider gears to the hub.

Thanks; now I'm wondering if I have a D60 or a D70. Next time I have my overalls on I'll crawl under the truck and look at the tag on the diff.

That may be true on some, but not all. My D70 has bolts.
