I can get a 8 Lug 44 from a mid to late 70`s Dodge military ambulance cheap. Does anyone have any info on these axles - width, u-joint size , knuckles, is it worth getting or should I continue seaching ? I used the search and only got info back on Ford and GM fronts. I will also be getting the FF60 rear from the same truck so the width realy is a non issue. Not sure of the year but it is open knuckle disk brake axle. Thanks

That axle is the full time type used with the 203 T-case. It is open knuckle with disc brakes. I am not sure about the rest .

u joint is the 297x. part time kit is about the same as a geared, locked GM 44, plus the wheel bearing design is weak.;)

Ok, thanks for the info. Guess I should snag the rear and keep looking for a front axle. Hopefully I can stumble across a good 60 somewhere.
