So I have a Dana front axle I cannot ID. It came out of a UPS delivery van, driver drop, manual hubs, eight lug, coil spring (goofy looking coil mounts), upper and lower control arm, 3.73 ratio, but I cannot find any numbers like the BOM even after sanding the thing to bare metal everywhere numbers should be, the front diff cover has this
39015
024 6
REV l
08 27 92
and the only numbers on the axle tube are
SHIFT A
045BA526 9 152 96
I cant even tell you what year the UPS van was it came out of, and really just dont know what I'm looking at otherwise. I have searched tons on lots of sites, any help would be great.

This is a really crappy pic, but the only one I have handy until tomorrow. What all do you want to see when I get more pics?

I will post pics tomorrow of the whole thing, you will crap when you see the coil setup mounts, but hopefully I can get some idea of what year it might be and what I can do with it.

I'm gonna guess 44. Why don't you look at the u joints? That's the most obvious noticeable difference between the two at first glance imo

here is a comparison, it is a Dana 44
DANA 44
All domestic manufacturers have used Dana axles, and the 44, with its 8 1/2-inch ring gear, is likely to be a step up on anything smaller than a 1/2-ton. A narrowed 44 could be the hot ticket for vehicles smaller than a full-size sport-utility. It was standard under the front of pre-1976 Chevy Blazers and 1/2-tons, solid front-axled F-150s and Broncos, and Jeep J-10/J-20s and Grand Wagoneers.
DANA 60
A Dana 60 looks deceptively similar to a Dana 44, but the 60's 9 3/4-inch ring gear diameter is a major factor in strength. It can be found in many 3/4-ton pickup and van rear ends.
