Twin Traction Beam. The Dana60 is a solid front axle, and has standard arch springs, whereas the Dana 44 and 50 are a two piece axle, and have negative arch springs. (Think of a 4wd version of Ford's twin I beam @wd front suspension.)

So since I was near it today, I stopped by to look at it.
Here's what I found.
5.0L engine
Dana44 front axle (both locking hubs missing)
Auto, not sure which tranny (drivers door was jammed shut, so couldn't see dash very well, or read the code tag on the door.)
1356 transfer case
Dash was complete, no seat or floor covering, door panels are in the truck. Drivers door looked decent, but couldn't get a good look since it wouldn't open.
Box was so-so, drivers side of floor in cab is badly rotted and has had a patch added in, but not a very clean repair.
Almost new set of 215-16's, darn near worth buying the truck for, EXCEPT they are load range D's instead of E's, however I suspect I could get away with them on the one truck, as it would really only be carrying the weight of the truck itself, a driver, and a plow, no sander, and a basic set of tools/spare parts would be it.
There wasn't anyone home, but I now have a phone number which I didn't have before, so may call and see what they'll let it go for. I can use the box short term on a truck here, may throw the tires on a truck for the winter, will have to see on that. Price is going to have to be very right though for it to happen.
