The rust means there is rust inside which is not good. Many many different ways that could have helped it break. I have flogged mine with 38s and 300+ horsepower for enough time, and wheeled with enough people who use 30s, 44s, 60s, 70s, 10, 12 and 14 bolts, 9" and totyota axels with alloy shafts, to figure if someone broke the head off the pinion gear with those little tires, they did something.Definitely a Dana 60 with a broken pinion gear. The bright orange rust means absolutely nothing as far as strength, it just means someone went off roading through water and didn't change the fluid when they got home. If the rust was black or the gears were pitted that would be a different story. There is a reason no one runs Dana axles in any serious drag racing anymore, the all run 9" type axles because they are so much stronger. I am a MOPAR guy and it pains me to admit that. I would rather run a Chrysler 8 3/4" than a Dana. Shit even the brand new Drag Pack Challengers are running 9" rear ends and Chevy Turbo 400 transmissions.
The reason they don't run 60s in racing is weight and gear set up. The 60 is stronger than a 9" {9.75" ring gear vs 9"}. But with a 9" you just drop the center section for a gear change. The 9" is also easier to set up, since it doesn't use shims like the dana/spicer axles and it can be easily moved to the bench for set up.
"Drag racing" they use a handful of different rear ends.

These are pretty cool also. I know this guy. I haven't talked to or wheeled with them in a long time, so I don't know the status off his business making and selling them. But they were a big deal in the off road/rock buggy racing community when he made the first one because you could drop the center section on a 60, like a 9".
People dont work that way. They will defend their views until their death. Future generations might laugh or hang their head in shame. Hell, history might judge us as the evil, will you hang your head in shame?
I would venture some of our younger brethren have no clue what those are.
Before moving to rural Arizona, we lived in 29 Palms for 34 years and there is still an operating Drive-In Theater there. At one point we had two. I even gave my two kids the experience of sneaking into the drive-in by hiding in the trunk one time.
It started with those speakers but then transitioned to tuning the vehicle's radio to a certain freq to listen. Good times, sitting on lawn chairs with a beer cooler to watch the double feature well into the night with a group of friends.
There are only a bit over 300 drive-ins still in operation around the US. Down from the roughly 4000 during their hey day.

Love going to the drive in. They are much improved and don’t use the boxes any more. Make it a point t to take the kids. They are going away but I want the kids to experience what was good back in the day.
Got my first blowjob next to one of those.
Ahhh, the good old days.
About the same as you were.
A mountain lion will eat 1 deer every 5 days (or more frequent depending on deer population); if anyone wonders where the deer go.
Where can I buy a semi load of mountain lions? Thanks, Texas
I told you. You're going to stay there until you've had time to think about what you've done.
my dad had a 1960 pete with a 5x4 transmission in it in the 80's changing gears in reverse was cool to watch
Sound on and a double click.....
Looks like somebody connected one of these wrong. I still want a real life one though.
I have seen something similar on a remodel job. They ran an extension cord from the neighbors outside plug to the panel box on the remodel house. The polarity on the neighbors outlet was backwards so the hot leg was connected to the ground bar. When I got there they said to not touch the plumbing or you will get shocked. The copper water lines were bonded to the ground bar.

You don’t gotta tell us in Washington state that, once they outlawed hunting cats with dogs the deer population collapsed in about 3 years…… to be Fair the also re-introduced wolves and grizzlys into the cascades as well……
Do you know why Chevrolet is the best selling truck?
Because Ford owners don't have to replace them every two years
Because Ford owners don't have to replace them every two years
And yet back then there wasn't a ton of fat bodies running around. Because kids were as active as the ad states and not sitting around playing video games.
And with the chip shortage those new chevys dont even come with the tailgate warmer anymore. Gonna be a lot of chevy owners with cold hands in a couple months as they push their trucks to the service stations.
You can't hunt the cats with dogs in Oregon so therefore you can't hunt cats but the state will sell you a tag for cats.
The F series have been the best selling trucks for 46 years in a row. I actually own one of each, a crew cab Lariat and a crew cab Z71Plus. The Ford is a much nicer truck to drive, but the Chevy has less issues and a lot more power.
