Rearend plate
Dana 60 C30255
C8TA-F 602911-14 3.54
Pulled this from a Furd site. Looks like a Dana 60!

it is definatley a 60, i just looked at the identification chart, so wich one is better the 14bolt or the 60??? i guess i have one of both now with 4.56s

From what I've heard the 14blt gives you more ground clearance than the 60. But can't speak from personal experience!

i think the 60 gives you more ground clearance

The Eaton *does* have a removable pinion support, like the 14 bolt.

The dana 60 doesnt...and it has more clearance than a 14 bolt, as well as being lighter...but the 14 bolt is stronger in every conceivable way.

Yeah, my bad...I read the post too quickly and thought it said the pinion snout did unbolt...

D70 could have been swapped in...but its not stock.
