I have what I thought was a factory Sure Grip center section for a Dana 60. I counted the splines, and got 35. I thought the factory carriers were 30 spline, but I'm not sure. Is this a factory center section? Any pointers to look for about what I have is appreciated.
 
Car dana 60s were 23 spline (early) and 35 spline (late). 30 spline was 8 3/4. There are lots of different side gears for different spline counts for truck dana's. (Or so i heard). I'm almost positive all car dana 60's had clutch type suregrips.
 
Okay. It must be a late carrier. I know 8 3/4 carriers were 30, just wasn't sure about Dana. I know it came out of a B-Body Dana, just wasn't sure if it was stock. Thanks for the reply
 
Ford dana 60 had 30. You can change the side gears to whatever you want later Dana 60s had 31 or 32 splines in the trucks. Some danas had 17 19 23 21. If you have 35 your good..

Post some pictures.
 
Dana/Spicer 60 axles were used in EVERYTHING! The HD units, I believe, were 35 spline from Spicer. Fords used these a bit, I think. I've tore apart a lot of Dodge 3/4 and one ton stuff. Always 30 spline.

Very interesting. I have torn a part a lot of Dodge 3/4 ton and one tons also and I have never seen a 30 spline axle in them.
