For some people a 29spline 8.25 is more than enough, for others they need a stock D44, some need built D44s and even others need D60s

Also you can tell easily since the rubber plug on the cover says DANA.

The non c-clip version of the Dana 35 used through the 89 model year had the threaded metal plug in the diff cover.

How can you really tell with all the rust? Look at the rubber plug and not the screw out plug.

Plug means nothing. I have a C8.25 with a rubber dana plug in it.
