Yes, and they are the most undesirable front axles around. Alright, maybe not the most,,,,,,,but they are right up there.
There is not much of a desire for these antiques. Not much about them that makes them desireable.

Mr.N's Dana Article
Little reading to determine the difference.
There really is no advantage to the LPD60, other than having the ability to say that you have a D60.
The only larger component in the ring gear. These closed knuckle axles have puny 30 spline shafts, and are known for thier weak stub shaft. Many had rather small u-joints, and were not any stronger than a D44. If you are not breaking 44 parts now, it does not make sense to swap out to this axle. If you are breaking D44 components, you can be sure that you will also break the components in the LPD60.
