Dana 60/44?
Ive got a 79 f250 camper special and was wondering if the front diff is a dana 60 or 44? At first I thought it was a dana 60 but I read about trucks from 1979 and saw that they came with dana 44's and that the dana 60 was an option. I tried looking up the serial number and it said the day it was made and what motor ect. And I was just wondering how you identify differentials.
thanks

You know that you have a 60 in the rear. Simply use it as a reference to size up the front one.
Also, easiest way to tell is by the size of the inspection cover bolts. The 60 will require a 9/16 wrench, or socket, and the 44 only requires a 1/2 inch.
Simple, and works every time.
