I look forward to getting settled in Austin and meeting up with MikeC as he has much more experience building these old trucks with 4wd than I do!
Unfortunately for you (But fortunately for me) Dana 44's have come in dozens of widths and have been installed under every American manufactured 4x4 over the 70 plus years they have been manufactured. There is lots of information on the interweb about them and while Dana 44's are tough, they are not the ultimate, so there's always someone looking to upgrade. Selling their good Dana 44 to offset the cost of the upgrade is usually part of the process.
