Axle ratio question

OK, I was just on the Banks Power website looking at their "project sidewinder" specs and came across something a bit odd. On their site they state that the Dana 60 rear end the used was a "3.07:1 ratio Dana® 60 ring-and-pinion" Banks Power | Sidewinder Dakota

The highest ratio that I could find for a Dana 60 has been a 3.54:1. Is it possible that this could actually be a typo and it is a Dana 61 rear? They did use a Dodge for their truck. Or is it actually possible to put a 3.07:1 gear set into a Dana 60? If so, where can I locate this? It would help out with a project I am working on seeing as how I have a few Ford parts trucks in my Grandmas field and need to do something with them.

Thanks in advance for the info.

My research indicates the 3.07 ratio was only available in the Dana 61.

That is what my research has indicated as well. That is why I am curious about their claim.

As far as I know, no 3.07 ratio was made for the Dana 60.
