the u bolts i wanna order for another project with the measurements i took says i need d60 u bolts and 1 bigger for the pumpkin side i feel like a noob:rolleyes:
 






i also mesured the diff cover again dana 60 but it dosnt feel right
 






If the cover is a 60, then its definitely not a 44. But you do know that the differential is on the wrong side right (at least for Explorers/Rangers/Broncos) ?
 






yes i building heep for a guy and ive never never been this confused it has a 350
 






There's no BOM # stamped on the housing?
 






rusted off it has ball joints not king pins i hate chevy ive never seen sutch bs
i need to order a cross over for it does any one wanna mesure either an eight lug dana 44 or 60 circumference i got 10 1/4 for circumfrance
 






It's stamped in the housing. Either way if you can get me the number or the spicer # off the ring gear I'll tell you what it is and give you the parts list.
 






ill get u that asap wish there was an eiser way than that thank you cheve

If you can get at the ring gear, then all you need to do is measure its diameter - the 60 has a much larger ribg gear.

Oh and that hole chevy vs ford thing - its not a problem. The axle was made by Dana. Ford also used ball joints, and the Chevy axle has a better brake caliper design over the Ford.
