dana 60 front identification
how can u tell if ur front differential is a dana 60 . on my 78 ranger f250 the front and rear differential hubs are about the same size. I can just get my two hands around the hubs with my thumbs and middle fingers touching

Often, but not always, there will be a 60 stamped in the diff cover near the bottom of the ring gear bump. To find out for certain, find the bill of materials number on the axle tube - it's usually on the front of the tube a few inches to the right of the chunk (long side). You may have to wire brush away some mud or rust to find it. It will have a 61-xxxx, which you can cross reference on Dana's site for all the exact info on your particular axle.
Good Luck!

Also, a D60 will have 4 bolts on the kingpin caps in a rectangle pattern. The D44 has 3 bolts in a curved pattern. So just look at the bolts holding your steering arm in place and that will tell you.
