Help identify the attached rear axle

[Rgx01]

Its the picture of a 1989 D-150 1/2 ton pickup rear axle, the bolt pattern tells me that it's a Dana 60,

I have a 1970 R/T Charger with a 8.75 rear end, would like to upgrade to this axle but can't find any specs on it.

Thanks in advance for any information given.

Looks like a 8 1/4

Well, it SURE aint a dana 60, or a 9 1/4. Looks like an 8 1/4, so certainly not an upgrade from an 8 3/4!

Not a Dana 60

Keep your 8-3/4 over this later model axle. The rear wheel/axle bearings don't even have races. They just ride on the axle shafts. I had one go out in my old 78 Dodge pickup, and replaced the whole rear end with an earlier 8-3/4. THAT was an upgrade!

Thanks for the feed back.
In the slow process of waking this baby up from a 1988 sleep fest.

I agree.

8 1/4 seems to be fairly common on full size trucks in the 1980's.

I've had two. One 318, one 225.

Interestingly my current full size 1980 truck has a 9 1/4 and was originally a 225 with OD 833.
