Everything you'd evar want to know bout 60's:
Pirate4x4.Com - Extreme Four Wheel Drive
Dana 70 rears were also paired up w/D60 fronts in *some of those 80's/ early 90's GM 1 tons.

There is such a thing as an 8 bolt dana 44. Seems like a 1 ton probably had a d60, but...

here is a good reference for IDing various axles via the diff.

if it is a 1 ton, it is a D60.

Unless someone swapped an axle into it.

Is it a dually?
