Re: Axle swap help on 70 K10 with Dana 44

The 89-91 might have the edge do to 30 spline axle shafts and not being necked down. Once you get the knuckles off, whats left to rebuild isn't that much. If the axle works fine and doesn't leak, then don't really need to do anything. The inner axle shaft will need to be replaced with a newer one, the splines are the same but uses a different u-joint. Offroaddesign.com has the parts you'll need, whether be shafts or rebuild parts.
What do you mean by "Open inner C"? Do you mean open knuckle design?
