Nope, just another model of the rear axle in our trucks. (it's the strong one)

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

Dana is the company, 60 is the model. 4x4 have a Dana 44 in the front. Newer Fords use a Dana 50 in the truck and Dodge's a Dana 70 in the rear. GM and Ford use corporate axles in the rear of their newer trucks. Jeeps use a Dana 30 in the front and their are other variants out there as well.
