If it's an older version it probably is a 60.

I thought the 61's were just for certain numerically low gear ratios??? like 3.07's or something???
That's why they were invented, but they still use them for all the other gears.

dana list's a dana 61 on there main page. look up under chry, they list as a 91 thru 92 axle. i tried lodaing that page but i cant.http://www2.dana.com/expert/wc.dll?hvtss~deabill~6~, but all you have to do is scroll down to the 91-92 d-600-700 trucks, jason.

The info I have shows it could be in anything from 87-93.5...
...And Ford had a D61 rear? 79-87?? Never heard of a rear D61, so that one kind of surprised me...

Fwiw my brother has a Kingpin D61 in the front of his 91 Cummins SRW. They we're not nearly as common as the D60's, and I'm thinking that they where only avaliable with the TF727 equipped trucks. 3.07 Ratio with a tall carrier makes it a pain to swap to even 4.10's. My brother now has a 4speed auto with that 3.07 ratio, and I'm pretty sure he could set a land speed record if he wanted too 
Anyway if you get there and it is in fact a D61...... I'd drive home empty handed...

if it is a 61 i would get it, for the right price. there the same as a 60 in strength and with a little fooling around with the ring and pinion you can get deeper gears in it. i think you have to add a spacer to the carrier. it will have internal hubs like the later model dodge 60's and its still a 1480 u-joint, agin for the right price its a great axle, jason.

not always true.
So "they" say, I've yet to see different.
