Front Dana 60

What year did they come out with the High Pinion Dana 60? Wasn't it in 1977.5? Before that they were low pinion dana 60's correct?

are you just asking this 'cause you want to rob one of these trucks of their fine running gear?

Kidding, I know they had them then but i'm not sure if there were any before that.

wagoneers have the pumpkin on the passenger side, Fords Dana 60 has it on the drivers side. Are you doing a different xfer case then too? My good buddy has an 85 wagoneer that we are beefin up right now for the trails. What are your plans for the woody??? I would love to see what you have planned.

No the pumpkin drop is on the drivers side. I have a couple of them and they are all on the drivers side. I thought that they all were. Is his a quadratrac set up? Ours is not it has a NP225 I belive. It is going to be a trail rig. 1 ton axles. 40" Swampers, 360 fuel injected, exo cage, 727 trans, winch with pockets to move the winch on the sides front and rear, rino lined inside, caged, boxed frame, 11" of lift, no wood here, all in primer gray and ready to roll except for the axles. I found a good deal on a set of 1 ton axles but they are off of a 1975 and I belive that the front axle is a low pinion dana 60. I would really like a high pinion for extra ground clearance and better driveshaft angle.
