only one way to find out!
well on a more serious note, i think they use different spindles, so that would be a no. you want the spindles out on a SA HD44.

outers would include balljoints out
info on another board suggests the ball joint spacing differs
I was hoping someone on the good site here would know for sure

well, 8 lug ttb uses 8 bolt spindles, 5 lug ttb uses 6 bolt, and SA 44's use 5 bolt spindles..

look into the chevy 8 lugs from a d44, they work.

yes, ball joint spacing is different. you can't swap TTB knuckles to a solid 44.

thanks Andy
the search continues

I will not use Chev stuff on the axles
the Ford brakes are far nicer stuff IMO

MJ, This might be way out of place, but I have seen a lot of people starting to run the D-50's......They use a lot of similar stuff to the D-60's, minus the longer pinion and a 3/4" smaller ring gear......They do have the same u-joints(1410), ball joints, pretty much from knuckles out is the same from what I am told....Might be worth looking into....Jeremy
