What rear in 81 W350

Hi

Does anyone know what rear axle an 81 W350 with duals has? Is it a Dana 70 or 60?

Thanks
Dean

If it is a D-350 with a 10000 lb GVW it would be a Dana 70

Look at the casting on the housing. Usually a D60 will haev 60 cast in the corners of one of the housings. Same with the D70. Also the hood tag will usually say SPICER 70 or SPICER 60 with the GVW rating and axle ratio tag.
