so, i like to think i know a lot about old chevys but....... saw a 83 GMC longbed, 465/205, with a dana axle up front. i know for sure it was not a 10b, deffinately a dana of some kind. but it didn't have kingpins and had two u-bolts on the pass. side. anyone ever heard of this, light duty dana 60? couldn't have been a 44 since they started using the 10b's in the late 70's. fair price for the truck but i'd like some insight if anyone has any. thanx. jay

Dana 60 or not?
- Thread starter 74poj
- Start date
tons of people swapped in older D 44s for 10 bolts because of the myth that the front 10 bolt is weaker than a d 44. I bet its a swapped in axle. The only front axles that came on our trucks would be a 60,44 or 10b. No light duty 60.
CDA 455
3/4 ton status
Facing the axle, on the right lower webbing (between pumpkin and axle tube) there should be a number cast into it. '60' if it's a D60, '44' if it's a D44, etc.
Good luck.
