Front diff noise - Dana 44

I am replacing the drivers front wheel bearing on my '74 F250 4x4 w/Dana 44. When I turn the wheel assembly I hear a bad grinding/clunking noise(hard to explain noises but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't sound like this) coming from the differential. I just bought the truck this month and between the headers and fist-sized hole in one muffler, I didn't hear the noise. This wheel bearing I'm replacing is EXTREMELY bad so I'm in it this far, should I go for rebuilding diff or is a new 44 the better route. Thanx in advance.
