rear axle identification
hey guys, looking for some help fing out what model my rear axle is. I have a 1977 f250 hiboy built 1/77 6.6L c-6 full time four wheel drive. The rear axle tag rotted off my cover. I tried to gently clean the housing for the other codes. The rust got the best of it. I pulled the cover off and have the numbers off the ring gear: 10 22 76 DANA 30363 b3r45x 41 10. On the inside of the case is: 2 60 hd. The door tag is blank for axle code but the rear axle rating is :3950. The other night i found a link for a site from dana. I should have booked mark it because i can not find it today.
thank you,
ken

73 = Dana 60 / 4.10-1 / 5050lb Rear Axle Capacity 
6 = ? no reference in parts catalog, maybe Mil1ion knows.
Parts catalog shows the Dana 61-1 for a F250, too...but I doubt that axle will be seen on a 4X4 of this vintage.
Now I wonder what the trans code is. F (o-?) 250 is F250 / C6 trans code is: G or Z (and X but used for fleet sales only)
VIN: F26 is F250 4X4.

So it is a 60 rear bill? It is weird that the door says 3950 for the rear rating. The truck was for a fire dept most of it's life so over all it's in pretty good shape for upper ny. the box was repaired poorly but picke up a nice one from jersey that needs minimal work. I can not wait to get a locker in the rear. I shouldn't have to be as hard on it pulling fire wood out of the hills. I am going back to my garage to check the numbers again. Thank you for your guys help.

see the VinDecoder on my web page to see how things are stamped on the rating plate.

Fire Dept? Well heck, that explains it..all FD vehicles were special ordered as a general rule. Look on the VIN plate again, see where it says DSO? What are the numbers?
I asked for the VIN first 3 digits to see if the three number pertained to a F250 4X4, and they do. I also asked the question to see if door tag was the correct one. The F26 is correct. The actual VIN (Vehicle ID Number) doesn't have axle or trans codes, but the Rating or Warranty (VIN) Plate does, because that's where the codes are.
Dennis, I know what VIN's pertain to, after 35 years behind a Ford Parts counter, I'd better.
