Dana 60 identification

cuda hunter · June 13, 2020, 10:13:47 PM

I"m pretty sure by the numbers on this axle tube this is a 69-71 410 geared dana 60.
Can someone please confirm this.
Also, the date code is 2 9 C2

Any info on this unit appreciated. As well as an estimated value.

It was removed from a fc7 RT/SE 1970.

You're not seeing the number in front of the 2.

It would be MONTH (not easy to see, but maybe 8 or 9?) - 2 is the day - 9 is 1969.

E-body Dana Codes:
603080-1, -2, -4 = 3.54 with Power Lock (Track Pack)
603080-3, -5 = 4.10 Power Lock (Super Track Pack)

Now that you have pointed it out I can see there is an 8, maybe a 9. Looks more like an 8 though.

Thanks!

Well it's gonna go in my V 4 speed built october 9th. Mine has the 354 on the tag, but a 410 will work just fine. Unless a correct date 354 comes along.

perfect

Value is hard to judge, I was lucky to find an E-body Dana in the 90's for $300.
Then spent another $1k getting the gears changed 10 years later.

expensive & that little green plug is made of unobtanium

there should also be a second date stamping

Cuda Cody · June 14, 2020, 06:59:27 PM

I've never seen that green plug in person. I've seen photos, but they are nearly impossible to find.

6bblgt · June 14, 2020, 08:01:13 PM

I had this one

cuda hunter · June 14, 2020, 08:04:31 PM

That plug appears to screw in. Is that how I should try to remove it? By unscrewing it? Or would I be prying it out?
I definitely don't want to damage it.

From what I can find, it appears the dana in this condition would be a 2K purchase. Maybe 2500.

Does that sound appropriate? Trying to determine a fair price to purchase this for.

6bblgt · June 14, 2020, 08:13:29 PM

I haven't heard a reason WHY? it is there - but this one came out of a '70 B-body 4.10 DANA60

this one got hot and melted (at some point, I don't think it was intentional) but I believe they are just pressed in

Cuda Cody · June 14, 2020, 09:12:30 PM

I think $2k is the going rate. I would prefer to pay $1,500 to $1,800 for it.

This dana has the brake backing plates but no brakes. They were removed.
It does have the original springs and u bolts.

Any value in those items?

Is there a date on the leaf springs?
