I'll start a separate thread but this seems related enough....are all D60 center differential the same? A D60 from a dodge will fit a D60 from Ford, etc? Not the gears, as they are cut for passenger or driver side drop, etc.

Thanks!

i want to say ford and dodge are driver side diff, and chevy is passenger side diff.
i know chevy boys take the ford axle and flip them to put in their chevys because passenger side diff D60's are very hard to find.

Low pinion (standard cut) or high pinion (reverse cut) gears aren't interchangeable. But I sure would think that driver's side or passenger side diff would be the same gears and center section, just with shorter or longer tubes on whichever side.

I have the correct 4:10 gears for the Ford D60 axle.

I have a diff carrier only from a Dodge. Just making sure the carrier itself is the same.

Thanks!

Yes, and no.

All carriers will bolt in, but all carriers are not the same.
