i have a 79 bronco that someone has swapped 3/4 ton axles. The front is a 44 the rear is a 60. The question i have is that the lock outs are held on with 6 9/16 bolts instead of the normal allen screws i have had some trouble finding parts. Normal bronco 44 u joints fit but the stub shafts are different
thanks any help would be great

that would be the HD 44. i had similar problems couple years back finding drums for my 73 front end. there is a standard version and a heavy duty. the heavy duty is probably what you got.

 

thanks i also think taht they just swapped the rotors and ends because the axle tubed appear to have not been welded or refabbed

 

doubtful, that year d44 came with disk brakes and such. but probably had the old school ford hubs. you know the ones that are really big around. when they get bad there is no replacement for them so you must go to the style hub you have now.
