Front Dana60 axle decoding

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-Oct-01 AT 08:17 AM (EST)[/font][p]Well, I bought a '79 F250 with Dana60 frontend. It is definitely a d60. I checked the door tag after getting it home, the Axle code is 379. I absolutely can't find any resource that corresponds with this number. Anybody know where I can find this code? I want to see if it's an original axle. It was very late when I got it home, I wasn't able to clean it up to check some casting numbers on the axle but will do this ASAP.

Check on the front side of long tube. This is the bill of materials #. It should read 610023-4. The first set of #s says its a 60, The second set is 3.54s or 4.10s open or limited slip. Hope this helps.PTO DAVE.

Thanks, that does help. It was too dark to really see on the axle tubes, I'll check later.
