Dana axles have the series number cast in the differential housing. Dana 70 is visually much larger than a 60.

Dana 70's were more widely used as a duallie axle at that time.

They also put the 70's in the SWR E-350 vans in '79. He could have done a changeout. It also could be a Dana 61. The best thing to so is what ecarter50 suggested and check the casting stamp.

I have only seen a couple of single wheel Dana 70's but never knew they came in vans. Learn something new everyday.
