65 Shorty w/D44?

Mornin All, I bought a 65 shortbed for parts,, mainly the grill and a few others,,, I forgot to write the VIN down,,, but it does have a Dana 44 rear axle,,, had a 3 on tree,,, could you order the 44 with any engine?
And also,, is anyone looking for a 65 shortbed body and rolling frame,, I am not going to use it, and I really can't send it to scrap and live with myself,,, I will get the VIN posted tonight or tomorrow,,,

If you wanted a limited slip you got a Dana.

ND can give exact on the date but no 61 66 light duty truck came with a 28 spline 9" LS. Some with the dana were built for lot sale, but most LS equipped trucks were special order and will carry the six digit DSO.
