...Oh Good call on the T-Case @ray steadward. If we go this direction that will change too. I will likely do a 3 speed Atlas.
Actually the 'modern' 99+ superduty axles are the ones that can be decieving and actually be a Dana 50 vs. a Dana 60 without any real good outward appearaince indicators.

1987-1994... if it has kingpins... its a Dana 60...

(Dana 50 wasn't even around yet)

F350's had dana 60 kingpins.... F250's had TTB axles (which are easily identifiable)

If you want to lose some time and learn the identifiers... Here is the front axle Dana 60 bible...

Utilize this/save it/bookmark it... this will answer 99.9% of all your Dana 60 questions.
