Re: Axle swap help on 70 K10 with Dana 44
Yes, that's what he means. When the 10-bolt took over from the Dana 44 is a fuzzy area, but was close to 1980. The two are not only right about even in strength, many outer parts will interchange. 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
