Additional photos on axles. The first photo shows front Dana 44 axle being checked out. Going to need total rebuild. Going to take some time to acquire the needed parts. More on rebuild later. Photos 2,3, and 4 are of 1977 Dana 44, that will be used until original is rebuilt. Dana 44 front axle component were upgraded over the years, 1976 was one of those upgrade years. The rear axle backing plates in photos 3 and 4, are 1/2 ton HD brakes with 2 3/4” shoes, they were standard on later 4WDs. Last photo shows original lock out hubs, with dirt on them, from 65’ 4WD.
