14 bolt or Dana 60?

[hitechredneck]

Just purchased a 1-ton rear-end from an 86 Chevy CUCV. I think that it's a 14 Bolt, but a buddy of mine insists that it is a Dana 60. I'm not real familiar with the Dana 60 rear-ends, so what to do to tell the difference?

How many bolts are there on the cover?

It's a 14 Bolt. Never thought to check the axle guide. Thanks.
I need to re-position the spring perches and shock mounts. Anyone know where I purchase these? Summit Racing sells the perches, but I'm not sure about the shock mounts.

I took the time and cut off the stock perches, they are beefy

My 14-bolt just uses the stock perches and shock mounts cut off and rewelded in the correct position.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered the axle swap kit from RuffStuffspecialties.com. Also ordered the 14B diff. cover. Thanks again!
