Crazy Idea! D44 re-tube
Alright, iv been thinking about this a little. I have a 69 or so Chevy D44 Flat top, that is a pass. side drop. I know it is possible to re-tube it, But do yall think it would be worth it? I really want a SAS, so to me i dont se any reason to not try it.
I obviously couldnt find either a ford D44 SAS or D60, considering im still using D44 TTB. But the Chevy one is in great shape. And im in no rush to get it done, and i defiantly have more time then money. I might make a good sumer project.
I just wanna get yall opinion, otherwise im gonna sell it, and get what i can.

It's not worth it at all. The work put into it verses $150 at junk yard? I am certain you'd have more money into that then buying a 78/79 ford d44. YOu cant tell me you cant find one. Sell it and have no more thoughts about it.

Ya, it sounds like its not worth it. Ill sell it and put the money towards a dana 60. Bigger is better. And its gonna get one at some point.
By the way, where are yall at? I'v only seen 1 late 70's ford D44 . And it was about a year ago and the whole truck was gone before i knew it. And i'v seen 1 super duty dually D60 in the junk yards. These are a little more rare around here.

Getting a D60 to start sounds like a much better plan. Especially if you know you'll be needing one eventually. No sense doing things twice
