No. That is the Chrysler 8.25. It's not what type of axle that determines what brakes you need. It is the diameter of the brake drum, either 9 or 10 inch. You could either size on the Dana 35 or the Chryco 8.25 so measure your drums.

Measure the brake drums inside surface diameter.

Up 8.25 and you should have the smaller drums I think. But measure just to make sure.
