I’m confident these axles are both jeep wagoneer axles (d44) but for the life of me I can’t remember what year these wagoneer axles came from that were compatible for a 1979 CJ5.

I need to order some axle parts and need to figure out what year these axles would have come from so I can search for parts.

The front looks like a 74-79 Wagoneer front axle. The rear could also be that, but in some of the Wagoneer model years the pumpkin was not centered on the rear axle. I get confused about the rear axles. The front axle looks like the axle I have in my shop for the SAS I am doing on My Chevy Colorado. The one I have came from a 75 Wagoneer.

Front looks pretty wide , if its just under 65" wms , it would be a Cherokee chief from the late 70's rear will be about 62"

CJ5 narrow track?

Somebody on ebay was selling a front axle out of an 84 CJ5. But he told me all CJ5s were narrow track regardless of year. Isthis true?

I am not a Jeep guy, but I know that the CJ5's were all like 56 or 57 inches WMS to WMS. The CJ7's had two different axle widths. Jeep widened the track in response to a perceived rollover issue. Wagoneer front axles like mine, 74 - 79 years range, are 59.5 to 60 inches WMS to WMS Grand Wagoneer and Cherokee chiefs were around 62.5 in the 74 - 79. I only know these because of my research for my SAS on my 2005 Chevy Colorado.

There may be a "Bill of Materiels" number stamped near the casting on the tube. If there are the original tags on the cover bolts, it might have it there also. It can be looked up to see the original application.

Rear is probably a scout. It was very common to swap in a scout rear with waggy front. What is the lug pattern. Most waggys were 6 on 5.5 and scouts were 5 on 5.5.

I have seen that chart before. But I trust the tape measure on the exact axle much more.
I am just relaying what I have found looking for the axle I ended up with for my swap
