The housing should have a 60 or 70 cast right into it

cant find anything, its been narrowed and was chromed at one time, where would it be exactly

 

[Brad4406]

Look at the rib just to the bottom right edge of the center cover. The number should be cast into the housing there.

nothing there

Looks like a Dana 60 to me.

11 20 70 is probably the gear set's production date.

I guess that could be the date, as trying to lay a tape next to the ring I got about 10" which is closer to a 60. There's also D35 stamped on the face of the spool towards the open side of the case. If I pull the spool to get a better measurement can I just bolt it back in or will it need setup again?

Anyone got any inside dimensions for a 60 or 70 housing where the ring gear fits?

Should I also be able to just pull the axles after removing the 4 backing plate bolts?
thanks

This might help.

The Dana 70 has a bigger housing to contain the bigger ring gear; however, it still uses the same cover as the Dana 60.
