This is a weird axle... It should have the drivers side as a flat top and the pass side not... IF it is the same as a 78 F150 D44
Edit: NM its too early to think... the D44 HD should be the same as a D60 from '78, they do share the same knuckles if I remember correctly. But then again, its early.

Nope, HD44 and D60's do NOT use the same knuckles. You should be axle to get a machine shop to flat mill the top of that D44 knuckle and then drill and tap once you have the high steer arm. I'd imagine this will cost $100 or so.

hmm, perhaps I am thinking of D50 knuckles being able to swap onto D60's then?
I dont know what Im thinking anymore...
Edit: BTW you and pro's little stunt of switching avatars is really confusing. Yall have both had the originals for many years up until now. Both of yall switched about a month after I joined... And this is my new theory. The switching of avatars has left me without logic. My brain is lost. ahhhhhhhhhhh
