That is not a D60 front, since it has the long u-bolt on the passenger side. Don't think I have ever seen a D60 in 6 lug, but that doesn't mean they don't exist, just seems pretty unlikely.

 

[73redblaze]

yea i caught the 2 u-bolts also.

They did make a 6 lug Dana 60, but not for the front. GM used them in the 67-70 1/2 ton trucks with big blocks. Pretty hard to find.

It appears to be a front D44 and a rear 12 bolt. The ad also list a '76 700 trans which is incorrect (not produced pre 81).

Guy has no idea what he is talking about, but he is trying to..lol...

Emailing these people and tellin their ad is all wrong doesn't do any good either, they usually just get pissed off. Probaby have 273s and a broke gov loc

The frame is also not the same year as the body. Its the pre-'81 frame. Looks like this truck is a cobble-job.

wonder how long that can of WD40 has been there?

 

[howdiy]

There is a closed knuckle 6 lug d60

Well, if it were 1976 parts I think that means "TH350 with NP203"... but that's a mishmash of leftover crap from various trucks, and the skidplate looks distinctly later. Maybe it's an NP205 that came behind an SM465, maybe he's smoking something.

Non-CA people, this is in Santa Cruz, which is IMO second only to, say, Humboldt County for sheer numbers dope-smokin' morons, in this case worse 'cuz they love their banana slugs in unhealthy ways.

Not like there's any healthy way to love a banana slug.

It's just Craigslist Stupidity. Has already been stated it not a 60 in the pic.

On a side note. Their are 5 lug 60's in the rear of International P/U . Doesn't help the 4x4 world, but useful for the hot-rod guys.

there are 6 lug steering Dana 60's GM used them in the rear of the Quadrsteer trucks
