Suggestion:
Write the question to be a little more vague :confused:

From the question, we have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Fortunately for you, we know that the 78-79 broncos ran a solid, full width HP D44, and that the 80-95? broncos ran a TTB HP D44.

I'm not positive on the early broncos front axle, (I never liked those things enuff to look into one) so I won't comment on them, however, I kinda doubt that you've got one of those for a parts truck

Front Axle is a Dana 44 , and the motor is a 351 modified not a windsor - unless someone swapped in a windsor.

ok so wut i have out of it is the Hi Pinion Dana 44, a 9 inch rear, and the NP205 transfer case. i would have taken the motor but my dad wants it for a different project. but i still want to know what the 072 means on the top of the front axle??

Its probably just a Dana casting number.

When I get home from work tonite, I'll look and see if my 77 F150 has one on it.
