Hello,

Comming off the classic side to ask a question.

There is a guy local with a rear end from a 98 F-150 4X4 that says he has a Dana 60 from it he is getting rid of.

I'm assuming this is the 9.75" Ford. I haven't asked him if it was the 5.4L but will.

If so am I safe in assuming that it is the 9.75" before I drive over and check it out. Or did they come with a D60.

Also I'm just doing a bit of research here and I did a bit of research but if anyone could throw in the Wheel-to-wheel width of the rear end that would be excellent. I'm assuming these are centered axles like the 60 as I'm wanting to swap it into a FJ40. Should be working on my 56 but ohh well, got to love all the projects.

Thank you,
Jason

Well he just gave me these numbers


top Row 3 S 909 8 1 Bottom Row 3L55 9 75 7M08

So I'm guessing that is a 3.55 rear end 9.75". I'm guessing that is what that means. So hopefully I answered my own question

Guy said it had 3.73 gears so I have to wonder more about it.

So for future info what do the rest of the numbers mean????

Thank you.

Yes, you figured it out. 9.75" axle with 3.55LS gears.

They stopped putting rear D60's in trucks back in the 1970's

Thank you,

Sounds like plenty of axle to put behind my cruiser. Now if I can just find out how economical or easy it is to shorten the WTW to fit the FJ 40.
