Also GMC put lots of power lock limited slips in the dana axles.And most of them seem to be 4.10 ratio in the d-60. This carrier works with the 3.54. Look for the Oil tag on the cover.
Thank you Barry - very helpful - I was not sure what a 64-66 GMC 3/4 ton would have model-wise for a rear end - this is my first 3/4 ton GMC.
Do you know how to read the numbers on the tag?
