'74 to '79 are passenger side drop and '80 and up are driver side drop. These housings are set up for a spring under application. To convert to spring-over a flat spot needs to be machined on top of the housing for the spring seat.
Or a full width D44 axle housing already set up for spring-over could be narrowed to Wagoneer specs and you could use off the shelf Wagoneer axles and not have to have a set custom made.
I have future plans to convert an AD truck to 4x4 and have been collecting parts. I will be using a '79 Wagoneer front with pass. side drop and a Dana 20 transfer case with a Novak adapter to bolt it to my SM420.
