Armand,
Dana is a company that designs and builds rear ends, along with other
related parts. They are at this point owned by Chrysler, Benz, or
whoever MOPAR is right now. DANA has built/designed rear ends and sold
them to all the car companies. In some cases Dana builds the parts and
the companies buy complete assemblies from them. In some cases the auto
comany buy the ''Rights'' to make one of Danas products. Then, Dana no
longer makes the rear end, they allow to folks that bought the rights to
make it.
This is the case with AMC. They bought the rights to build the Dana
model 15 and model 20 rear ends. AMC may have made others as well, or
bought the other Dana models they used complete, I do know know on the
others.
Be aware, Dana has built rear ends knowb as Dana 15, 20, 25,27,30,
35,60,70,&80 models. Most likly they have built others for big industry
as well, but there are a lot of DANA rear end models. And that I know of
nothing interchanges on any of these except some pieces between model 15
& 35. And I am not 100% sure on how much of those pieces do swap.
Armand old buddy, I hope that explains it
One more thing, if you see ''corporate 20'' used as a description on AMC
rears, that is the same as a Dana 20. Some aftermarkets just refer to
than a CORPORATE 20.
