Title: 70 440-six pack project-Help on Rear end I.D
Post by: Hotiron on January 08, 2018, 05:42:21 PM
Here is the original rear end from my 70 cuda.  I am trying to figure out if it is a dana 60.  Are you better off rebuilding or just putting a replacement in.

Never had anyone make that observation.  What do you see that makes you think it is a repro.
