I need a strong differential for my '55. I like the Strange 60 only because I have always thought Danas looked cool. Any advice on either company or type of rears?

I had Moser put together a complete 9" (spool, 35 spline, brakes, etc) for my Fairlane. Quite pleased with the quality and the price. Strange was a good bit more expensive for the same setup IIRC.
Agree that Danas have the cool factor, but they're also a bit heavier than a 9". If weight doesn't concern you, go with the Dana. Scott

Dan, you da man!
![]() I am leaning toward the Dana mainly for the cool factor. Strange admits on their site that the 60 is heavier but they tout it as being stronger too. |

I don't know Moser's history, but with Strange your dealing with a race car/Muscle car Icon. Same people/company from "back in the day."

a dana sure would look cool, but the practical side of me says 9" a couple hours and you can change gears from fun to making time down the highway, a dropout of 4:56 and 3:23 sure sound good..
