rear axle identification
Bought an axle for my dad's 96' 2500. Was told it is a D80 I need to verify that. Per seller it is from a 90's Ford truck, but he didn't really know.
Thank you!

That does not look like a Dana 80 to me -- the Danas have 10 cover bolts, this one has 12. 12 is typical of Ford.
Take a look at this differential ID page: Differential Identification | West Coast Differentials

I don't every touch Ford stuff, but that is not a Dana 80.
Wrong center section with the wrong sensor location.

Hey thanks guys, just saw you posted on this and I never responded. I now know it isn't what I was told it was. Guy doesn't want to crap about it and is convinced I am wrong. Not sure what I will be doing going forward, but finding a way to stuff a Ford 10.25 up his rectum is defiantly part of the process.

If you look close, the seal on the outside of the pinion will have the ford oval on it.... As will the ring gear sensor and or plug for it. Take some pictures of it and show him.. That is definitely Ford, I work on a lot of them here.

Its a decent strong diff - on par with a 35-spline Dana 70. But typically cost half what a Dana 80 does.
Pro's:
- most likely the right track width. (64-65" for a 97-older SRW)
- slide off drums
- 9/16" wheel studs
- Brake hardware and cables are basically the same as 1stgen Dodge
Cons:
- 1350 yoke (usually)
- crush sleeve (but can be eliminated)
If I wasn't into it for much $$$, I would move the perches and run it.
