    M880

    I pulled out my "Wheels" chrysler M880/890-series manual and according to that they were spec'd with the dana 60, however as NDT and Gringeltaube mentioned, there are differences between 1975- dated axles, '76 , and '77 ... As I previously mentioned, I did have an M880 with a dana 70, for...

    M880

    All conjecture is welcome to see all possibilities of his mystery... Correct, there are incomplete numbers on his tag , but as NDT stated above, the VIN on his tag indicates a 4x2 truck, not a 4x4 .. Perhaps could be a mistake by the puncher, but the VIN denotes a 1979 factory 4x2 VIN ...
