Up to 78 i think, but the 44 was inter mixed with the 10 bolt till almost 80 or 81. All ya gotta do is look at hte front end if it's a 10 bolt it will have ears on the top and bottom sticking off, well I call them ears anyway. The 44 doesn't have this shape. Hope this helps.

My brother's '80 3/4 ton has a 44. His '79 3/4 ton has a 10 bolt. Have seen a '79 1/2 ton w/a 44. Don't know why they still used them.
