dana 60 or 70 question

i saw another pic with the axle in the background and it had the selectro hubs...it also had a dana 60 rear in the truck...i think its a 60
If it is a 70, unless its free, stay away from it. Lack of parts available, and they are not as strong as a 60.
i dunno if it is i guess i need to go look at it
here is another pic of it in the background
and that is the 60 out the rear too...it also had a divorced 205 in it too...
i just talked to the guy on the phone its a 70 w/ drum brakes...what a bummer i thought i had found a piece of gold...
Walk away, nothing to see here. Inless they are free, keep going.
yeah thats what ive been told...kinda dissapointing...b454rat said:

its the drum brakes that suck.

It's from a Dodge and probably has Tracta Joints some had 1480 u-joints and were 1.50 35 spline inners and 21 spline 1.375 outers. Which makes them just a little stronger than a stock 60. Closed knuckle front ends won't turn quite as sharp as an open knuckle and the tie rod went under the pinion behind the axle. They also came with drum brakes which really kills their value.
