Di Pulled my differential for a rebuild. Saw this label on the top underneath the rear crossmember. Anyone recognize this label? Yes I work slow. About .0015 wear on original cross pin. Not too shabby for 86,000 Mi

I ran across the same old weathered paper tag when I dropped my FA code 3:70 diff out of my 65 396 Roadster. Any markings that had been present were just about all gone by then.

Here's something interesting looks like the crush sleeve was split at the factory. Maybe easier install? What do you think?
The cross shaft is worn, and Eaton no longer sells them separately. I actually had to make them since the other new shafts sold were not at the same level as Tom's Shafts.
I never saw a split crush sleeve and I have been taking these apart for decades. I suggest you don't cut your new sleeve.

Yes the cross shaft is slightly worn, but I found a couple more NOS in my parts drawers. Built a lot of Dana 44 and 60 back on the day for hard core off roading. Never saw a crush sleeve split like that either I am using a new one.
Lucky you have the cross shafts. The ones sold today, that I checked anyway, didn't hold up. They were showing wear during posi tuning. That is why I had 100 made and cryo treated. You can use a solid sleeve as well. There won't be any performance increase and they cost more, but a crush sleeve will work as well.
