2000 yes but subtract the cost of the axle and its parts to me. What would you ask for your axle? How is it locked? I already have grears and a carrier maybe make some cash up that way. 5.38's are too deep for me.

I am talking to a guy right now who can have me a used 79 44 with steering linkages to get me by for now and parts all the way out to the brakes for 500 shipped to baird.

It has an Aussie locker. I put in new inner axle seals, ball joints, brake pads, and calipers. The passenger side knuckle is machined with high-steer arms installed on both sides. The hubs are stock, but work fine. I'd have to have 8 for it as it sits or 6 without the locker/gears. Also, I'd only pull it if I have a 60 located to put in. I don't want it sitting unuseable any longer than neccesary. The steering links I would keep for use on the 60.

I think after replacing all the seals bearings and ball joints 6 isnt unfair at all. I am game sir if you can nail down a dana 60 let me know. I will hold off on buying any more axle parts. Its high pinion reverse cut right? WHat it it out of, I will probably just go with weld on ford radius arm mounts. Thanks.

See what you people get me into? LOL It is out of a '78 F250. High pinion, reverse cut gears. I'll put out some feelers today and see what I can come up with.

95yj, sorry to lead you on but might as well put out the fire before it gets out of hand, i would need to convert this thing to 5 lug and would need knuckles out, this axle would just be too cost prohibitive for me. I dont want to convert the rear because it already has chromoly axles gears and a elocker. Needs to be a F150 or bronco axle. Sorry.

It's OK. My mind was reeling with changing directions on my upgrades. Read up on the Mr. N site about all the different 1/2 ton versions of the 44. There are some "not-so-desireable" models.
