Dana 44 question.
Found a d44 out of a 76 highboy. Everything looks right except for the pinion yoke and I've never seen the casting #d44 6EF. The yoke is really small. I have another axle with a bent tube but it has a bigger yoke and casting D44 6f. Is there a difference? I'm assuming I can just swap yokes? Also, there is a large "E" cast into the top of the pumpkin

Numbers, the stamped number on the axle tube is 603763-1. According to this number on the chart it should be a D44HDF housing casting. Also, per this number it's a D6TA. It does state "no" on free running hubs though. Does that mean it came out as full time 4x4 front diff? Could it have been changed?

According to this number on the chart it should be a Dana 44-6HDF w/a 3,500 lbs. capacity front driving axle.
Also, per this number it's Ford: D6TA-BD It does state "no" on free running hubs though. Does that mean it came out as full time 4x4 front diff? Could it have been changed?

The Warn hubs were added by a previous owner.

Yeah I know the warns were added later. You think it was from an automatic truck? The truck it came from was molested. It had a mated 205/435. Truck is titled as a 1976 but had a lot of different year parts.

Look towards the right in this pic for parts list 30.5H and you can see its application.

I can look up the parts, but that's about it.

Here's the flanges. Once bolted on they have a dust cover that taps over the end just like a trailer hub. Here's the outside view.
