I've had me weenie whacked a few times on this subject. The 122 switched to a Dana 30 in ~1967. This is most easily determined by the 2 1/2" axle tubes (vs. 2 1/4" on the Dana 27) and later type trailing arms. There are other issues with the drum vs. disk brake Dana 30s, however. I think it's related to splines on the axle shafts, but am not 100% certain.
