I haven’t had the opportunity to own one with a Dana but the one I have (8 3/4) has the same size side to side.

Give you a thread bump!

Thanks yes Dana car is different.

I remember them being equal in size. But if I am wrong would the bigger be on drivers side for torque?

You could try downloading the factory service manual and looking there?

The 66-70 B-Body Dana equipped cars used the same style of bumper on each side of the rear frame rails. They were much beefier than the 8.75 bumpers. The Dana bumpers are relatively square with a round top. The 8.75 bumpers are more in a triangle form. Both styles are available in a reproduction. Be careful if you should purchase the reproductions. Some of them do not include the metal support plate if you are missing your originals.

I removed the Bumpers off this car 29000 original miles there was a small one on one side and bigger one on the other they appeared to never been off the car? Mistake? I just don't remember what side was witch.

Most probable, it was a factory mistake. All kinds of things happened on the assembly line to drive us crazy 50 years later trying to second guess the reasoning.
