I just bought a rebuilt Dana 20. It is a driver's drop so it has to be a Ford, but the B/M number does not match what I found on Novak for a Ford. So I'm stumped. The ser. is 661615 and the B/M 300529-3.



Thanks for any help,

 

Classic Bronco says it is a 1966 with 2.46 low gear.

 

I'd love to see a picture of your Silver Anniversary Jeep CJ5. By the way, it is possible with just a little work to install Bronco Dana 20 2.46 low gears in that Jeep Dana 20 case to upgrade from 2.0 low. Thirty years ago we cobbled Jeeps from whatever was available free or cheap. Back before the internet and good paychecks!

 

Right now my Silver Anniversary CJ doesn't look like much. The paint started going away several years ago so we hit it with the cheap grey primer. We were going to turn it into a play toy. BUT, my son was driving it at college during the summer and it was stolen. It was gone for two years, we got a call one morning from the Highway Patrol and he wanted the VIN number. The city cop that did the paperwork when it was stolen had written down the wrong VIN on the papers. But it was found at a drug bust and the Highway Patrol knew it had to be stolen because almost everything else on the property was. He tracked down us by the Inspection sticker still in the windshield. The guy had been using it for a hunting vehicle and beat it all up. Creases in panels that would be hard to take out. So I bought another body that I can fix pretty easy. Just waiting on my old body to finish up the honey do's( finish the house we started in 1990) before I can get back to my projects.
BTW, It does run and drive, we put new tires on it when we got it back. Had new tires when it left with the factory chrome spokes but those disappeared.
Oh, my wife bought the jeep new in 1979, we drove it as a dialy for a lot of years after we were married in 1980. Sorry for the long winded story.
But after it was stolen we decided to put it back as a weekend cruiser. No Off-Roading when I get it back together.
