    I am trying to repair the rear differential on a 1965 CJ-5,,I am told the differential is a Dana 30. gear count is 43 to 13..I need all the parts to rebuild this housing including the cage, ring gear, spiders, pinion, shims and what ever it needs to be back on the road again..I would even be interested in purchasing used parts or a complete differential. Any help would be helpfull...I would like to have it back together for my wifes birthday on March 4

    Rear differential on a '65 cj5 should be a tapered axle dana 44. Any dana 44 from 1955-1969 should be identical. However.... your gear ratio of 3.30 is definitely not a stock ratio, so it's impossible to tell what you have without pics.

    A dana 30 is a front axle that was in jeeps from 1972 to present.

    Some early scouts used a Dana 30 rear axle, should have a Powr Lok
