Just check me on this guys. The plan right now is to find a dana 44 front axle from a later model chevy truck and bolt it to mine. Will this work? I sure hope so, because this is basically my last shot at being able to convert over to discs without having to spend a fortune building a new front end, which isn't worth it at all. Any help with this would be great.
Thanks Guys | | |

Same donor truck also gave me the power booster, and saginaw power steering box so this made a huge difference for a low investment ($400 parts truck.)  | | |
