Even though i'd like to do this swap, i definately don't want to compromise my driveline in the process. Do you know the measurements of the axles? It's really hard to find anything on that.
thanks | | |

I cant remember. The point being, you should be able to find one in the salvage yard somewhere. I cant recall if it had discs on the front however. Gettin old, falling apart, ya know  | | |

I'll send you an e-mail with the site address. | | |

If it's an AD, I don't think there are any Chevy Dana 44s that are narrow enough - you'll have to look for a narrow-track full-size Jeep. From what I've been able to find out, they use the same bearings, spindles, calipers, etc. as the Chevys. | | |
