The 85 owner's manual shows it to be a Dana 3.54.

Sorry, the owner's manual only says Dana. Maybe some of the other guys here might know.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-Apr-02 AT 09:53 PM (EST)]Since it's a 3/4 ton, it's more than likely a Dana 50 if it's a TTB up front. The rear would be a Dana 61. If you have a solid front axle you'd have the Dana 60 up front. Also the tag on the differentials should give some reference. If I remember correctly, the Dana 50 TTB is essentially a beefier version of the 44 with 8 lug hubs. To make it even more confusing the 44 could have also shouwn up on this truck....whooo...
