D44 vs D60
Ok to start with I dont really want to be bashed for asking this question. I have spent all day searching this site and others for an answer with no luck. If you dont wanna be helpful please just move along and pick another post to read. I want to know how to tell if I have 44's or 60's under my truck. Just bought it about 3 weeks ago now. I've been under it a dozen times or better. Any tags on everything under her have either been painted over or removed. All I want to know is how to tell the difference between a 44 and a 60. I dont know how much of this truck is stock and how much has been changed. The engine was originally a 360 and she now sports a 390. It's a 4 speed. '76 F-250 Ranger XLT? I question that too because I dont belive the "Ranger XLT" came out till '77 but thats the badge on the glovebox... so, any help here would be great! thank you

hell that was easy, 2 wrenches and about 30 seconds under the truck, 44 under the nose and a 60 in the rear. im gonna guess that was probably factory. door tag says 24J under axle

I have a 77 explorer F250 with the same combo, HD d44 in front and 60 in back with apparently rare factory 4.56 gears and a limited slip.
