Default dana 60 full floater rear axle

I have a local brake & clutch shop questioning the fact that my 66 1502 GMC has a dana 60 full floater axle. All of his books show the 1500 series as a 1/2 ton. (keep in mind this shop has 50+years experience and is one of the few shops that can re-line my rear brake shoes) The biggest items in question are the fact than not only is the dana 60 stock but the 12" x 2.5" drum/shoe size.

can someone shed some light? Is this in fact stock, or was it swapped at some time? when I go to Napa, their system and the old books only show 11-5/32" drum size.

I did bring the drums and shoes and they will turn and re-line the shoes but I am still questioning if it stock. More for my knowledge than anything else.

Thanks in advance.
