No it's not, it's a 9 1/4 corporate rear end. And yes you can swap in a 60, but it's going to require some modifications. Not just a bolt on swap.

We all know it can be done, just not a simple bolt for bolt swap.(like I think the OP was asking) Drive shaft for one.

If your using a D60 out of a 2500 Ram, then I know you have to change the rear leaf springs, driveshaft u-joint, and also get you some 8 lug wheels. There used to be a DIY on pavementsucks.
