That is what i thought but on the right side or left of the axle tubes down in the corner it will tell you what it is

I believe this is what Blazin is talking about as the identifier.



Notice the bolt that is sticking straight up out of the housing.  That's where the inner side of the right spring clamp bolts up on a D60.

Are you going to drive it on the street or just mud?

 I just got an Eaton for my 14 bolt 9.5"  rear from Randy's Ring and Pinion. If Kaptkaos doesn't sell them give these guys a call. I'll let you know in a week or two how it works out.
