Kimble,

I think so, had to get new inner bearing and seal. The ones I originally purchased were to small. Not real familiar with Dana 44, will confirm.

The new calipers are metric, they maybe have an 1/8" of an inch clearance, for the rotor. With pads all the way retracted, the opening measures 1 5/8s"?????
This seems really tight.

On when they stopped using Dana 44s in K10, lots of discussion on the forum, several reports of them in '78s, and a few in early '79s. Would need more information to determine when they stopped. This one definitely had Dana gears dated '79, and came out of K10.
