are the hubs on a ttb d44 the same as a solid axle d44?

I'm going junkyarding tomorrow to get some hubs to convert my waggy 44 to 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern and in the past all I've seen are TTB equipped trucks. Oh, and I'm talking about the wheel hub, NOT the lockout hubs, and the search showed nothing.

EDIT: redid my search and found one post where someone said they are the same, just leaving this here for someone to possibly confirm this?

Almost all are the same, early 87, 88 will have the flange hub. Dealer only item.. But you'll know it when you see, no way to mistake it for anything but the paper weight it is.

Edit: IMANIDGET... I posted the wrong years, as was pointed out by welndmn (thanks) It is now correct.

POP.

Whew, thats better, it was getting stuffy up there.


Sir you are correct..
I was dealing with another parts issue that day, got my parts and years wrong....

By the book, MY 88 Broncos had flange style hubs,, But in reality, the shop in question, and fellow Bronco owners have found them on some MY 87's also. Local Ford dealer gets $387 for um,, Can you say, SWAP.


Thanks for the catch welndmn
