Dana 44 is a light duty 1/2 ton used in early jeep CJ rear and Bronco front and
lots of GM/Ford/Chry SUV (Blazer) front ends. It;s now used in Vetts. (PS the
side gars are interchangeable with a 9" Ford, but they are 30 spline). The 60 is
generally the heavy half rear end also used in Hemi Chryslers and lite 3/4 ton
trucks, usually not floaters. The 70-80's used to be old 1 ton and larger w/
floaters (I Think).
