I have found the remains of a frame and a rear axle in a junk yard. I am trying to figure out what kind of vehicle is was originally and am pretty sure it has to be a Dodge.

The axle is a Dana 60 with a Power lock and 4.10 gears. It has eight lug bolts and really narrow little drum brakes. The shocks angle in from their lower mounting point below the axle on the u-bolt hardware to a crossmember above the rear axle.
The axle shafts have 8 bolts holding them to the hub, not 6 like a lot of Dana 60s I have looked at.

Does this sound like anything that Dodge used?
I know it isn't IH, but I suppose it could be Ford or Chevy, I don't know much about them. I hope to pull an axle shaft and get a spline count tonight. Thanks guys and Merry Christmas.
Dave
