Chevy Dana 60 question

[Casey79CJ7]

OK. Somebody school me on front Chevy Dana 60's. I was under the impression that ALL of them had kingpin knuckes. Why is it that I always end up buying the exception? Were there ever any ball joint 60's??? Seems like I got one. Mine came off a '76 ambulance. Pics to follow.

I've read the pirate tech. That's why I am confused look check out these pics.




This came off the pirate tech:

GM

1977-87 K30 1 ton 4wd

1984-88 CUCV

1988-91.5 V30

All GM / Chevy versions were passenger side differential, regular rotation (low pinion) gears, disc brakes, 35 spline inners, 30 spline outers, internal style hubs, and KINGPIN KNUCKLES.

Why does the rib on the housing say 60 then? Its confusing.


Edit: Ok maybe it doesn't say 60 on the housing. I gotta talk to the seller now. Appreciate the help.

It's a 44 with external lockout's.Lots of people think since they have the external lockout's they are 60's but they are'nt.
