: Chevy D44 fronts with massive hubs welndmn 04-12-2002, 11:02 AM I saw one of these at pick and pull a while ago, it did not insterst me for a swap, but more of WTF is it? It was under a 70's chevy 3/4 or 1 ton, it has missive d60 like hubs, but was still a D44 with 297's Patman 04-12-2002, 11:04 AM Just a normal External hubbed 44. They suck, compared to the internal small hub ones. All the torque is transferred through the bolts (hopefully studs). The Rockslut 04-12-2002, 11:09 AM Yep, what Patman said. Aggro 04-12-2002, 11:17 AM Yep, What the rockslut said!! The Rockslut 04-12-2002, 11:28 AM I agree with what Aggro said about what I said about what Patman said! :flipoff2: welndmn 04-12-2002, 11:35 AM ok, thanks guys, let something else i did not know Nobody 04-12-2002, 02:22 PM My 8 lug stuff has external lockouts. Are you guys suggesting that I should hold out for a pair of internal style hub? Gozuki 04-12-2002, 02:25 PM Nobody- yes... Aggro 04-12-2002, 02:29 PM yep, what gozuki said. The Rockslut 04-12-2002, 02:31 PM yep what Aggro said. Aggro 04-12-2002, 07:19 PM I agree with what The rockslut said about what I said about what Gozuki said!

The second was an internal hub that used a huge spicer hub. When everyone first started using 35 spline outers on D60's they used these larger hubs and machined the inner spline to fit. I'm not sure if they used 30 spline outers or not. Chevy and some Fords used these in the early 70's. Someone should know about the stub axle size on the big hubs. Cheepin 04-13-2002, 08:39 AM Hey Nobody run it.Just swap the bolts for studs and lock nuts.Check them often,keep them tight.Blazin:rasta: patooyee 04-13-2002, 08:52 AM Originally posted by locrwln Actually there are two versions of the early trucks D44's the one with the external hubs like early jeeps/scouts.

Chevy used to run these HUGE internal-style hubs on the d44's. They're strong as all-get-out but if you do manage to break one, good luck trying to find replacements. I've only ever seen one d44 with them. They are fricking huge. At least as big as d60 hubs. J. J. | |
