Hey guys I could use a little help here. I want to order all my stuff for my rear end; brake shoes, brake cylinders, bearing, race, seals gaskets and gear oil. I want to order the parts but I want to make sure I get the right ones the first time.

Also. If anyone knows the best place to order the parts I would appreciate any sharing. I believe the drums are 2 inch but I haven't pulled it apart yet.

I tried using the dana library but that didn't prove fruitful.

Here is the data plate for the axle:

I got my brake stuff from Rock Auto, You don't need Dana info for common, standard brake parts. If you do need Dana hard parts I recommend Torque King 4x4. They have done me right.

 

Thank you much. Also here's my Data plate guys. My GVWR is 8100. Front axle: 3300 and rear is 5300. I don't really understand these numbers yet. Seems like the GVWR should be 8600 lbs?

 

D0TA-BG = Dana 60 Rear Axle / 3.54-1 / No Limited Slip / 5,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

Assembled 5/72

F25 = F250 2WD

H = 390 2V

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

P27302 = 1972.

This is the Safety Standard Certification Label, glued to the left B pillar (door post) below the striker plate.

Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch, post a pic of it.

Your F250 has either 12" x 2 1/2" front/rear drum brakes, or if it has optional dual piston caliper front disc brakes, the rear drum brakes are 12" x 2 1/2."

 

Thanks Bill! I knew the VIN but you answered my question for shoe size. I have the front disc dual piston calipers. Now the bearings/races and seals are next.
The plate on the door that you mention I took it off when I stripped the doors. I think I have a pic of that in here somewhere. I will find it.

 

Here's the data plate

Bill, is the 27302 the trucks serial number? I see serial # referenced regarding fitment on parts.

 

The Serial Number is the last 6 digits of the VIN: P27302.

1972 Serial Number range: M40,001-Q00,000

 

I'm looking at a wheel bearing/seal kit that advanced auto parts has here for $150 but it doesn't look right. I've never worked on a Dana 60 before so I can't judge if this is right but it looks like it has 4 bearings but 3 different sizes? Is the outer bearing on one side smaller in diameter?

 

1969 F250 Dana 60 from serial number F30,001 & 1970/79 F250 Dana 60:

There are two bearings and cups per side.

2) C7TZ-1239-A .. Rear Wheel Bearing Inner & Outer Cup / Stamped with BIN: LM-104911

2) C7TZ-1240-A .. Rear Wheel Bearing-Inner & Outer / Stamped with BIN: LM-104949

BIN: Bearing Industry Number that auto parts stores and bearing shop go by.

 

Thank you Bill.
