[QUOTE="Speeding, post: 210208, member: 1"] I have what I believe is a '76 "HD" Dana 44 out of a Ford F250. It's 8-lug, low pinion, DS drop, open knuckle and has very unusual lockouts that attach with 4" long 1/2" bolts. DS knuckle is flat top which I'm sure most were. Turns out the stub shaft is 10.66" where as the usual common 44 stub is about 9.5" I believe. I'm considering swapping all the outters to accept this more common axle to save future expense and problems trying to find replacement shafts. I broke a stub in January and have not found a local stock replacement shaft yet. Is it possible to swap just the spindles, hubs, stub, and lockouts from a more common '78-'79 3/4ton 44? Any lockouts out there that work with this axle to accept the common length stub? I'd swap the whole axle but I already have a nice truss and brackets.
