question about dana 60's

[hyperactive460]

i was out in the yard today taking the leaf springs off my axles and started to look for any tags of any kind which i found none, i did find some numbers though and i want to know if anyone can decipher them for me ?first pic is of the rear axel which reads c 30255 and the front axle which reads 620093b.

If the diff cover bolts take a 9/16 wrench, chances are you have some d60's.

A pic of the entire axle would help.

c 30255=a spicer dana 60

is there any way to tell if i have limited slips or open diffs ?

 

[UNRULEE]

Possibly the tag on the cover, but if the axles are out of a 30+ year old truck the only way to know for sure is to pull the covers and take a peak as to what's inside each one.

 

[hyperactive460]

no tags at all on either axle. what exactly do i look for when i pull the covers ?

Hub Nut

What size is the nut to remove the hub on a D-60 2 1/2" or 2 9/16"?

Get the BOM # off the passenger side axle tube next to the center section.

i can't find any markings on the axle tubes anywhere. the only numbers found are what i have pictures of ( my first post ). how do i tell if i have open diffs or something else ?

If you pull the covers anything other than open will be obvious to see.

 

[Mil1ion]

those numbers you have don't mean much

look for a 61xxxx number

 

[UNRULEE]

Here's my front D60 that is open.

And as Mil1ion said there will be the number he mentioned stamped into one of the axle tubes. You may need a wire brush in order to even locate it.

I think he didn't look at the links I posted
