Front Dana 44

Got a bunch of the front '79 Dana 44 rebuilt and gears changed out. Did bearings, seals, u-joints, and 3.73 gears. The gears got set on third try.
The main axle was powder coated gloss black, and spindle, backing plates semi-gloss. (the backing plates were originally gold cad with black paint on them). Using Warn Premium hubs, as they look kind of original '64 ish, per 61K10 build. Working on rebuilding calipers next.

Note: The last photo shows the original '64 Dana 44, that is stored away, to be reinstalled later.
