Goin Saturday to a junkyard down in Fontana, Kansas to look for......
A D44!!! Yes, that's right, Slider will be getting a new front end, one that flexes and where's bigger shoes. (that is, if I can find one in decent shape) Then, after that, its all in preping the axle, then finidng somebody to help me get to fabbing (hint, hint)

Hey Ryan, If you don't have luck finding the D44 solid, let me know. I know a guy that had one he will sell for $400 for the axle and all the brackets you need.

My buddy has one that I'm sure he will let go for $250. It is all apart and was getting ready to install it in my buddy's '86 F-250, But I'm sure he'd part with it.

I got one!! I got it for a GREAT price too.. but here's my mistake.... got it home and THEN I relaized that it had vacuum disconnect on it... for all you wheelin guys, Can I somehow bypass this system by just using a single axle shaft for that side?

Ryan, I did a little research and couldn't find anything on bypasing the vac. disconect. Best I could find is a kit that converts it to a cable operated unit, if it was reliable I would think cable would be the way to go. Just a thought

Thanks Duane... I've been talkin to some people, and I think I may be able to replace the stub shafts on the vac. disco. side to a one piece shaft of the same length.... gotta do some measuring still though
