'72 4x4 Dana 44 spindles... anywhere? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all. In need of a set of Dana 44 spindles for my '72 K10. Having a hell of a time finding these... no one has new ones that I've found, even the specialty guys. Can find lots of '73 and up spindles, but not the older ones. Anyone know a source for this kind of thing? Or does anyone know of a work-around using a different D44 spindle and bearing combo, without replacing the rotors? Thanks!

You can use the 73 and up, ( Even from corp 10 bolts ) but you have to use the hub and spindle as a unit because the bearings are different sizes.

Thanks! Do you know if the '72 rotors will work on a '73 hub?

That I can't answer. When I did mine I swapped rotors also !

No worries, thanks anyway! Anyone else have any suggestions?
