Im looking at buying some axles, I will be swapping into my LJ and I was wondering if a mid 80's HP D44 will work for my vehicle. I will be using the factory type brackets. Am I going to have enough room to mount everytting. I have searched High and low trying to find answers but have had 0 luck. thanks for the help in advance

What mid 80s vehicle is this HP D44 coming out of? I assume front since you already have a D44 rear.

There is no 1980+ hp solid Dana 44, that's probally why you can't find anything. If it is HP it has to be late 70's ford.

The guy selling the axle is saying it's a front hp44 from a mid 80's f250

79 was the last year for that.80 on is TTB or Twin Traction Beam

I will ask him again what year its from, Im just going off the info that I was given. Thanks for the help

he sent me a icture of the driver side axle tube, I have no idea what year it is, its a solid axle though

As said, there's no such thing as a mid-80s HP D44. Ford went to TTB in 1980 and the only solid axle in a Ford after that would be a Dana 60 starting in 1985 or Dana 50 starting in 1999.

he just ran the BOD? he said its from a 79, thanks for all the help everyone

It'll be a bit wider than your stock rear d44

im going to thrpow a 14bolt in the rear

Want to bet?

I'll bet you that you can't find a 67 - "early 70's" Ford F100/F150 pickup with a low pinion.
My view is 66-79 Ford F100/F150 ALL had high pinions.

Say $20?

Where did that come from?

Are you saying that a mid-80s HP D44 is avalible?

or

Are you challangeing someone to find a 67 - "early 70's" Ford F100/F150 pickup with a low pinion?

It seems kind of random?
And isint their a thread from like 02 that puts up a bounty which has yet to be claimed?
