The BOM (Bill of Materials) is a break down of exactly what the axle is and what it was originally equipped with.

I don't know if it goes back past 79' or not. If it doesn't, try the Dana BOM decoder on this page.--->

Idio,
If the length matches up, it will work. You will have to convert the thing to disc. I think thats a hell of a lot of a trouble just to go from a ttb d44 to a straight 44 with no other gains. If it were a bolt on with locker and lower gears it would be different.

rlh,
i agree, ive kinda given up on it, i figure i might as well go with a D60 if im going to up grade to anything, it just seemed to be a great price for what he was claiming. im not going to build anything for a while, but i figure i cant pass up a good deal now, im going to start collecting everything i need, im going to build a full-bronco wehn i get the money and time....college is taking away from both....im thinking i want a D60 front and back locked for a start.

There's no way that's a HP if the drums are stock. I can't imagine why anyone would try to swap drums onto an axle that originally had discs.

ive seen a few drum hp 44's....the highboy's had a low pinon 44, but ive yet to see a 73-79 low pinion 44 that came out of an f-150
look here.....a 74 f-100 with a dana 44 and drums.....high pinion.
its swapped over to disc now....and the housing is definitely not a 78-79...the c- wedges are the weld on kind....not part of the housing
EDIT: ok this is rediculous....i cant post of alink of a picture to prove someething

What you are trying to do is called bandwidth theft. Its when you try to use one site to serve an image for another site. To combat this, many sites such as the site above (and FTE) replace remotely linked images with an ad to the site. If you're going to take bandwidth, we're going to recover the cost with an ad.
We're not going to allow their ads to run here so we replace any URL that would result in an ad with a link to our home page. If we didn't do this, all you would see is a banner for their site, not the image you're trying to display.

jk Sure enough though, drums and HP. Ford never ceases to amaze me. I mean, why put the weaker center section in an F-250 and stick the tougher HP 44s center sections under F-150s?I remember you asking about the LP 44 in an F-150 awhile back. At the time I was ALMOST sure I had seen LP 44s under older 150s. I've been meaning to look under a few pre-77's to satisfy my curiosity. I'd actually forgotten about it untill now. With that I'd also forgotten about my doubts that HP 44s came in pre-77.5' F-150s. I stand corrected, thanks to your pic.
I'd still like to know what the BOM on that axle is, just out of curiosity and the pursuit of getting my story straight.

Latest update on this D44. some answers, im still intrested in it though, and the 9" hes got, unless any of you say differently.
I have a 9" at home out of a 4wd 65 ford pickup w/ a 352 V8 in it, anyone know what the ratio would be in this axle?
"dad and he thinks its out of a early 70's ford pickup, It didn't have a front clip, so not positive onb year, but pumpkin is on the drivers side and it has drum brakes. I have more pitures but i dont know what the number is on it and i dont think it matters. If you need a high Pinion, driver side pumkin, with drums here it is. It is for sale for 150$ which is CHEAP for a high pinion axle w/ drums wrecking yard is 500$ with drums and for disc they start at 700$ and keep on goin up so Its up to you I thought I was sellin this for a hell of a deal and Just lettin you know if your goin to run any tire bigger that a 36 inch tire you need at least a 9 inch if you got a 8.8 I would go to a 9 inch or dana 60 I got a 9 inch for 50$ complete drum to drum like this dana44 I am sellin cheap because I am moving And need to get this stuff away quitly.

How many lugs does it have? From blowing up the picture it looks like 6 lugs?

I agree with that 100%. Plus, you do not want to keep the drum brakes and by the time you finish swapping over to discs, a Dana 60 with discs would have cost almost the same amount.

I don't know where you're at Idio but down here in So. Oregon I've found whole f-150's and big Broncos for under a grand with HP DB 44's and 9" rears. I don't know where he's getting $700 and up for a disk brake 44. Maybe up in the valley??
