What front axel do I have?
4500lb 8400 gvw heavy tow pkg Thanks, Bill sorry, nevermind, pics did not work for me https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=79942

take a picture of the diff, or it is stamped on the axle beside the diff cover either a 44 or a 60.
|
rear
If thats the rear there? its a dana 44, most likley 3:55 gears

-Jared i allways just look to see if it has kingpins and the diff cover |
The lockout just looks a little different. The way the bevel is around the outside, the recess of the allen screws, the overall size of it. I've found enough that I generally can tell from a good distance. I thought about glossing myself the "Dana 60 hunter", but 'm pretty sure I'm the only one that would find that funny. Family and friends would disown me, I'd probably lose my job. It might be worth it though, or not.
-Jared(Dana 60 Hunter) EDIT- The last part of this is tongue in cheek, as in not serious. You know, meant to be funny. I get a funny feeling from the posts below this that it's not coming off that way. |

He can't, it's either a 44 or 60, need more info to discern.

And this.
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...DSC00006-6.jpg Like I said, I've found a few. The factory spicer lockouts on a D60 Ford front axle are unique. Don't hate on me because I can tell that from a photo. -Jared |

Not "hatin" dude, just relaying facts, a D44 hub is depicted below, how you discern that from D60 via a pic is beyond me, must have special powers... http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...79rusthub1.jpg |

Is that not the four bolt kingpin retaining plate I see at the very top of the pic on the far knuckle?
