a 61 Scout 4x4 came from the factory with a d27 with drum brakes.

lots of info over at binderbulletin.org

Scout axles were more standarized than the trucks. All of the drive axles came from Dana and were 27's in the early 1960's, 44's showing up in the rear ends in the mid 1960's. Dana 30 fronts (drum only) and dana 44's showed up in the early 70's Scout II's with disc brakes.

So the '61 Scouts would have a D27 front and rear.

Good Luck
