F250? Then it would be a Dana 60. That was my first guess from the pic with the cover bolt and "60" in the casting. What is the axle code stamped on the vin plate on the door?

this axle is on a 65 f100 and doesn’t match door, but the bom 602910-1 doesn’t seem to match any axles then there is the date stamp? that if different as well. Most seem to follow 693xxxx format
Ford used some non-floating Dana 60 rear axles in F-100's. Pretty rare.
They must have been trying to get rid of some extras then...must be really rare.
In 60 years there could have been one or more axle swaps too For example, I wanted to run the readily obtainable 8-lug wheels on my '65 F-350 so I put a 603201-3 ('71-'74) 4.56 axle underneath it. The BOM (usually) tells the real story.
Except that I am now in the process of changing the original gears for 4.10. Maybe I'll stamp a "1" after the 603201, or make a tag for the cover bolt!

My 1964 F100 came with one. Some others on the forum have trucks equipped with them, too. Semi-floating 5 lug Dana 60-2 used as one of the locking diff options from 1963-1966 F100 - along with the Dana 44 and later the Dana 60-3.
The Ford 9" in these early years were not limited slip.
Dana 60-2 used the "Power-Lok" locker and was rated for up to 600 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque or more. Used in some of the early Chrysler vehicles with the 426 hemi, too.

Not just the Hemi cars, my brother’s ‘70 440 Six-Pack Challanger had a factory Dana 60 in it. I bought a ‘73 IH Travelall for parts years ago and it had a semi floating Dana 60 with the 5 on 5.5” bolt pattern.

I think you’re talking apples and oranges…Chad is saying Dana 60-2 while you’re talking Dana 60. Not the same. I think he’s pointing out the unique/surprising situation that Chrysler used the 60-2 in some hemi cars versus the more common (and expected) Dana 60.
Or maybe I’m off my meds. 😂
I wouldn't exactly call them apples and oranges. More like Fuji and Gala apples. Dana made a semi-floating 44, 60, 60-2, 60-3 and 70 as well as a full-floating 60, 60-3E and 70. They all shared many of the same parts. Here's the drawing for the semi-float axles.

I have a Dana 60-2 in my 64 F100. It was the only limited slip option available in 64. You could get 4:10 or 3:54 gear ratios. The internals are identical to the standard Dana 60 but the axle tubes are different. I recently had the differential rebuilt and the shop ordered all parts for a Dana 60 with the exception of the outside axle bearings and those are actually pressed onto the axle shafts. It has a 12 bolt ring gear with a 12 bold cover. Pretty beefy for a 1/2 ton but it is factory.
