Who does re-drilling and re-luging of axles? I have a Dana 44 with 6 lugs, i want 8 lug to match a DANA 70...

can it be done???

Real easy, use 3/4 ton 44 hubs rotors, caliper bracket, caliper and maybe spindle.. I cant recall if the spindles are different or not.

is it a front or rear axle ?

front

I think this has been covered countless times. Do the search and really its a cake walk, just find a GM or Ford 44 and rob the 3/4 ton stuff,rotor, hub...etc.

check the for sale section, lot of 8 lug outer stuff goes through there.

What year is the 44 front?

73-early 77 GM 1/2 ton and 74-76 FSJ spindles are the 'small bearing' spindles (you will need to change these to the 'large bearing' spindles).

The 'large bearing' spindles are found on the 1/2 and 3/4 ton GM 44s (later ones) and 77 and newer FSJs.

Don't know a damn thing about Dodges and what would work from them.

But like others have said, 3/4 ton hub/rotors and caliper plates. Warn's 20990s will work with both.
