diff troubles
well I found out what diff I have in the front its a dana 44 hd found out the hard way. Wheel bearing went out on drivers side and broke axle shaft and spindle problem I now have is I cant find a spindles. Found a diff out of a 75 but if I read right one here it wont work because of the drum brakes and axles wont work according to hollanders the axles are 76-77 specific. Dana dont make them and everyone in a 100 mile radious has no spindles. The spindles have five bolt mounting. any body got any with the nuts?????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bronco graveyard.com might have them, check it out. I had some off my 75 F-100 4x4, but thew them out with the scap metal when I converted to disc brakes from wild horses bronco site. Just another idea.

Don't forget about dodge too. They all used the dana 44 front diff. Not sure what the differences are though. Good Luck.

the 3/4 dana44 uses larger stub shafts than the common 1/2 dana44 i dont remember the exact size difference but the shafts and spindles are larger. i havent converted one yet but i do know someone who has so it is possible.
