1977-1991 Chevy and GMC Dana 60 Front Axles
The open knuckle, Dana-Spicer Model 60 Front Axle was first used by GM in the 1 ton Chevy K30 and GMC K35 4x4 trucks for the 1977 model year and it would remain largely unchanged through the end of the 1991 model year except for spindle nut and lockout hub changes in 1982.
The 1977-1991 Dana 60 has very durable greaseable king pins and disc brakes. The wheel bearings are serviceable and it uses a dead-spindle configuration. Available factory gear sets for these years included 3.73, 4.10, and 4.56 ratios all of which had conventional open differentials.
GM also used both open and Trac-Lok limited slip 4.56 ratio Dana 60 axles in 1984-1987 model year 1-1/4 ton military Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle (CUCV) M1008, M1010, M1028, and M1031 series 4x4 trucks (Note: A few replacement CUCV models were built as late as 1996.)
For GM K30, K35, K3500, and V3500 civilian 1 ton trucks, the Dana 60 front axle was used until Square Body model production ended in 1991.
