It's been a while but if my memory serves, you can use the 10-bolt parts to convert your brakes. I may be totally wrong, others will confirm or deny, but I am sure some parts interchange between Dana 44 and Corporate 10-bolt. If it was my truck I would want to keep it with a Dana 44 even if all the parts aren't correct. Disc brakes aren't correct, but I'd want to see a Dana44 under there

Thanks Tim. Actually that's what I want to do is keep a Dana 44. I'm just somewhat intimidated by the whole rebuild part. I know it'll be more money to buy a completely rebuilt D44 axle, but all I'll have to do is swap it out. I found a guy a few years back at Carlisle who does a lot of Dana 60 axles. He also does the D44 axles too.
