dana 44's front and rear

their 8 lug front and rear

that means they are  from a 3/4 ton truck

What 3/4T trucks had a rear D44 with 8 lug?    Semi-floater right?  Custom axles?     Only semi-floater I know of that was 8 lug is a GM 9 1/2 RG in their 3/4T rigs.

chevy had  dana 44  8 lugs  in the front  and  8 lug semi float rears,  they were classeds as 3/4 ton  but to me if it wasnt a full float it wasnt really a 3/4 ton

Yeah, that much I knew. But what about the D44 rear?

[79coyotefrg]

i would assume  its a dana 44 front  and semi float 60 in the rear

[Cheesemaker]

And I've seen some older ford's that had d44axles with the 8 lug.  Remember the ford highboy light duty 3/4 ton with the straight 6! 

[badhorse [OP]]

i have a pic of the front and rear but their too big to post i can email them to someone if they can post them for me

He said D44 front and rear.

I do remember those trucks. Just never payed any attention to what they had under 'em for a rear. Guess I always assumed they were D60 with 8 lug.  Were those 44's full or semi's?

btw get a photobucket account and let me know if u need any help

[fordh8r]

That rear looks like a D60  ...is it a full floater?    What size are the brakes?

[fordh8r]

any close up pics of the T-case (rear and sides)?  Or maybe even the rear axle hubs? From what I can see so far the T-case looks very much like a NP203 from a 70's era model ford. If the axles were from the same application I would say those are D44 front for sure and D60 rear from a 3/4T p/u possibly from a 74-78ish model year.

i'll get some better pic of everything tommorrow i know nothing about this truck i've been a samurai guy for along time but have wanted to get into a toy for awhile now i'm trying to get ahold of the guy that built it he is from cambell ca he traded the truck to the guy i got it from about 6 months ago

[fordh8r]

Cool, would like to see more. 

[trail mate]

i agree the rear looks like a d60, and the front d44 from a 70's model ford, there might be a serial number stamped in the housings, if there are you should be able to find everything out about that axle online.

[Rocksurfer]

Chevy 1/2 tons are 6 bolt FYI and that rear looks like a Chebby 10 bolt to me. If it is that would make it an American axle.

Definitely not a 10B chevy  . The 10B chevy cover doesn't have any flat sides. 10B cover is almost perfectly round.

found out its a dana 60 rear out of a 76 f250

[fordh8r]

  pretty awsome!  What about the T-case?

[Rocksurfer]

I was sitting in a DQ having lunch when a Ford F-250 went through drive-thru and I noticed something about it that look very familier, those little ears on the inside just below the springs on the rear so I now agree that they are out of a F250.

[*ROKTOY*]

looks like d60 rear d44 front from f250 ford can't tell the tcase but I would say np 205 if it came from the same truck. I had a 74 f 250 and it had the same axles and tcase.
