on the upside we had some time to kill so i taught my son how to weld.

Must be your gasket was good, it holds water!LOL!

Another cool pic of the boy!

Visited a guy who parts out Ford pickups on Saturday. He has a closed knuckle dana 44 from a '59 f100 for sale. Forgot to ask how much. It's in Marysville Wa. It's going to a big swap meet next weekend.

Mark did your parts come? Hows the rebuild going?
I was out in the boondocks when you first started this thread.
Check your spindle to knuckle bolts and treads. When I was running the big tires my spindles pulled loose (pushing the truck to hard maybe) and ended up re-drilling, tapping for the next size up grade 8 bolts.
Good to see you passing on the skills with your helper.
Good luck in your quest

thanks for the kind words guys. the parts came in twice Wally. didnt get them all the first time. wish i would have read about the threads pulling out of the knuckle before i put it together. i wont make that mistake again. im gonna switch over to the other build thread i started just in case someone google's dana 44 rebuild. i tried it before i started this project and came up empty so maybe i can help someone out in the future.
