zombiehunter,
The type of axle cannot be determined by the VIN.
The axle type can be determined by the axle code which is located on the Warranty Data Plate.
The plate is located below the driver's door latch on the door.
Provide the axle code on your data plate and someone here can de-code it for ya...

129" WB would make it a long bed.

so spicer (dana) 60, sweet. i think. anyone know any pros or cons of this behemoth? i have an 8.8 with 3:73 and limited slip and also a 9" from a 67 t-bird, i have perches to change it over from coil to fit leafs. are either of these a better choice. i should probably mention i yanked the 240 to rebuild for my supercharger, and im putting in a mild built roller 5.0L with a t10 toploader, hurst equipped. any input is greatly appreciated you guys are awesome.

Dana 60 point TWO. not just a dana 60... Very VERY hard to find parts for! sell all 3 of the rearends you have and find a correct 9 inch and bolt it right in. any 9 from a truck up to 1972 will fit like a glove

31 spline axles came in SOME 9" truck diffs after '72.
Are you looking for the wall thickness, I.D. or O.D. of the actual tubing or the O.D. size of the bearing?

A limited slip differential IS fun, but if you could turn it for a reasonable price, I'm thinking that a 9" would be stronger than the 8.8" and you'd have a wider selection of available parts (gears, axles, bearings, etc.) and maybe even have less $$ involved overall. Of course, you can always stick a limited slip differential in a 9"........ Just a thought.......
