the pasenger side hub on my truck just blew out. i must have been riding on it while it was bad for a while because both bearings and the dog gear and everything else were basicly disintigrated. I'm only sixteen and this trucks my daily driver so i'm looking for a cheap way out. i figured i could go to the bonyards and find a hub assembly adn just buy new bearings adn that adn put on the truck. from what i know the truck has a dana 44, but i found some stuff on the internet that says different.it's a 81 chevy 1/2 ton,6 lug. I was wondering if any one could tell me what trucks and the years of i could get the huib stuff off of if theres anything i should know,tell thanks for any help

check my link. it has the id stuff for you 44.

They made some that were round, and they were 10 bolts. they are not real common.

where you at in Indiana and is your truck 6 lug or 8 lug I can probably help you out if you are close to richmond

by the way, if you smoked the hub & spindle, just tear it down unbolt the spindle and replace the busted bits. the shaft may have gotten ground up. but you won't know till you pull the spindle housing.
Ps, you will need the hub nut tool.

its a six lug and i already pulled the hub/rotor, just about everything was busted. it was so bad, i didnt even have to take off the axle nuts.my uncle has theaxle socket.i didnt even know i needed it when i first noticed the problem, the hub just came off.it had been driving bad for a couple of weeks
adn i pulled the tires off to do the brakes and the wheel had about 4 inches
of play, suprised it didnt fall off thanks for link, i'll check it out

ps suprisingly,the shaft doesnt look that bad. im in hammond just west of gary

Bump :smokin:
