I did a search and could not find what I was looking for.

I have a 76 3/4 ton 8 lug dana 44 with the large hubs, are these hub strong??? I have never seen large hubs like these on chevys they look like they belong on a Fo-d,,,,

Any way is this 44 worth messing with??

Thanks,

I have that axle in my K5, I have blown out a joint but the hubs are still kickin.
The biggest problem with these is that the bolts back off and then the problems start.
I have warn premiums on mine and have locking tabs on the bolts.
Do you still have the Spicer hubs on it?
I personaly like the old external hubs, they are the old school look.
