Just FYI, if that is a 78-79 frotnt 44 then the wedges can not be cut off.

78-79 wedges are cast and there is no axle tube underneath them.

great article and good pictures. thanx.
i was referring to grinding the "C" blocks down (hence the patience), then using the base for a mounting place for a 4-link.
i used several cut-off wheels, 2 grinding wheels, & a flapper wheel to get mine smoothed out enough.

Ummm... Some of the hp44 in those years had weld on c's. It's hit or miss. I know because last week i just plasma'd them off to get ready for some spring perches.
