I looked up the BOM 608583-9 on Dana's website and didn't get any hits.

Dana Holding Corporation - The Expert Axle Bill of Material

Ya sure that reads right???

Dana 60 ring gears are 9.75 inches.

yes im sure...im 4th owner of my 75 250 and im trying to find out what i paid for. the previous owner didn't really give any details on the truck only that he had it parked in his garage after he bought it. the axle tags are a bit rusty but im pretty sure those are the numbers i can make out. What does the D5T A-L mean?? Thanks for responding, i appreciate your help.....

Dunno what L is because..... I found the Bill of Material number (608583-9). I didn't find it the first go-round cuz Dana's search function only goes back to 1978.......It's on sheet (page) number of this document: http://www2.dana.com/pdf/X510-SD.pdf

"1975 1/2 F-250 3/4 Ton HD 4x2 Pick-up - Full-Float
603583-9 Standard (open differential) 4.10 (ratio)
"

.. it's strange that it has a tag. Dana axles typically have the numbers stamped. Nonetheless...
