9 1/4 and dana 60
« on: August 26, 2008, 10:15:32 PM »

So whats the difference between the the two. Or just a diferent name for the same thing. If they are not the same thing which is stronger?  I just found a  68 coronet with what appers to be a dana , but im not sure. I wouldnt mind putting it on an a body. I have a 72 duster im working on right now, after this one is done i want to build a 67-69 Dart. So which year is more sought after, i hear alot of guys not wanting the 69 model. So whats the difference anyway. Alright thats all, thanks

They are not the same.  The Dana 60 has a 9 3/4" ring gear and is stronger than a 9 1/4".  You'll probably find that more parts are available fore the Dana 60 than the 9 1/4"

Stay away from the 9 1/4". They don't hold up well in the 1/2 ton pickups. I broke mine 3 times explode  Warranty  lol then I went Dana 60's lol

Yup- Dana's only have 10 cover bolts.  9 1/4s have 12.
