How to tell if a Dana 60 is original to a B body?

[garner7555]

I found a 68 roadrunner that has a Dana 60 in it.  I can buy the whole car cheap enough but how do I tell if that is a true B Body Dana 60?   Thanks, Clark.

VIN code? Didnt all R/T 440 and 426's come with a dana 60(with a 4 speed)?

Problem is, someone "tried" to turn this into a drag car.  It has a roll cage, diamond plate where the aprons once were, ect.    So I want to verify that it really is a B body Dana 60 before I buy it.   Thanks

Car danas have pinion snubber mounts cast into them. If some built a dana for it they typically start with a truck housing which does not have the snubber mount. Easiest 5 second way to tell.

Only a Hemi '68 Roadrunner would have come with a Dana. Is it a Hemi car?

This  And you could also check the gear ratio, unless they were changed -  68 was a 3.54 ratio only, 69-70 could be either 3.54 or 4.10

Thanks guys!      All of that info is helpful!     Now to see if I can get the car bought (if it's not a truck rear end)
