Anyway, I'll keep my hand off the Dana 60 until I'm finished changing dipers and see what happens then.

Thanks for all the help!

Sounds like your Dad was thinking about a unique way to provide a present for the new family (and it is, no)?

When the trade is complete, post the numbers off the replacement D60. The original application can be searched on the Dana/Spicer web pages to see if it has any collector value.

A good story about the axle mix up, these things happen.

I had a friend with a 70' AAR Cuda that he purchased in 71'. It also had the axle swapped (stolen). My friend was 22 in 1971, and intent on buying a muscle car, motivating a trip to Bakersfield (California). He visited the Chevy dealer, and they had a Motion Industries 427 Camaro, but would not talk to him. He visited the Ford dealer, and they had a Boss 429 (with a demo head on a stand that you could drop a cigarette pack through the large intake ports), but Ford would not finance someone who was only 22. The next stop was the Chrysler dealer. The dealer had no Hemi's, but had a 70' AAR with a 440. The dealer could not sell this AAR in 1970, so they pulled the tunnel-port 340 (for another AAR owner) and installed a 440 6-pac with the guidance of Gurney's shop in California. They financed the AAR at 80% and Gary drove the AAR home. This AAR was as quick as a Hemi, with the handling and stopping advantage of the AAR forged a-arms, dual shocks, and disc brakes. Three months later Gary walked out to the Cuda after a shift building L1011 jetliners to find the AAR sitting on milkcrates in the parking lot, as someone stole the D60 while he was at work. Another D60 that is floating around with no car to match up with (the AAR was totaled in about 1981).

It's good to wait until you get more sleep to complete the D60 trade. Good luck with the new family. I expect you thanked your son's Grandad for the good gift?
