Socket size on that monster plug in the pan? Rear end gasket part number? I tried searching the forum, but it doesn't come easy. I am sure this question has come up a gazillion times. I'll only ask once, I promise! Thanks in advance!

Any classic oil with high zinc advertised should do. As for the Dana 60, assuming it needs an oil change, it has its own drain plug on the bottom. No need to change the gasket.
Canister oil filter is Wix 51121. It comes with the correct gasket. Make sure you remove the old gasket before installing the new gasket, it sits in its own recess. Don't ask me how I know...
