Interesting. I am getting a set of 3 54 gears out of a Dana 60-2 from a slick. was a Dana 60-2 available in any other ford F100's after 64?

Yes, both 1965 and 1966 offered the Dana 60-2 limited slip in a 3.54 ratio. The T18 looks like it uses the same gears as the T98A.

Perfect so what I am reading I need a 17 or an 18 tooth gear. I based my tire size I am using now off the 6.50 16 tire dimension that it was originally ordered with. So I should be ok. Can you tell me what drive gear I have now? 1964 T98 trans 4 10 ratio it is all original drive train

Now when I get a minute I will have to crawl under and pull it out and look. My curiosity is peaked

rear differential?Post the AXLE code stamped on the 2nd line-far right of the Warranty Plate.
There was no 9" w/a 3.54-1 ratio. 3.50-1 was common with 3 and 4 speeds.

ND I have a 4:10 Dana 60-2 in my 64 now from factory. You and a few others decoded the tag for me several years ago. I have found a 65 Dana 60-2 with a 3:54 in it and am going to put that ring and pinion in my 64 for a little better highway driveability. The man I bought it from is sending me everything but the housing. I assume everything from the 65 housing will bolt into my 64 housing. Is that correct ND? So my question was for what drive gear will I need once the 3:54 gears are in. Thanks in advance
