Changing axles, front dana 44 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**D.PASSMORE** · 05-10-2015, 09:57 PM

I'm rebuilding my front Dana 44 axle. I have 1972 D44 with the small u-joints and will be installing the 1973 and up larger u-joints axles. I see there is differences in the axles where the stub axle inserts into spindle and there isn't a machined shoulder on the longer axles for a slinger, plus If I understand right, I have to use this Spicer kit, 706527X instead of seals. The question, can someone offer some insight on how this will go together. I see and think I understand how it will go together. Just not 100% sure.

Thanks
