Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
      a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
      acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

Maybe he's talking about the 9-1/4?
"Liberalism is a disease that attacks one's ability to understand logic. Extreme manifestations include the willingness to continue down a path of self destruction, based solely on a delusional belief in a failed ideology."

Maybe talking about the Dana 61.  :shruggy: Used in trucks in the 70s and 80s, allowed for taller gear ratios (like 3.00) for better mpg.

Since the car was originally a /6 it probably still has the 8 1/4" it came with originally.

I have heard the term "baby Dana" used to describe anything but a Dana 60 that doesn't have a dropout 3rd member.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

I also thought the Dana 44 was called that way.

Jeeps use them and also late 70's/early 80's Volvo's
