if it's a 250, it's a TTB front end, not a solid front, unless the owner has switched it over.

like rob said 250 is a dana 50
350 is a dana 60
a lot of folks put the dana 60 under there 250's though.


35 4.10
39 3.55
c5 4.10 ls
c9 3.55 ls
i think i got those right.

if its a 4.10 you will be around 2000 rpm at 60 or so.
