1976.5 Dana 44 Front - Interchangable Bearing Hubs?

[ChevyToughRebel]

Hi all, Ive got a 1976.5 Dana 44 front axle for my '72 F250 thats missing everything from the bearing hubs out. Ive spent a lot of time researching the internet trying to get a solid answer on what other bearing hubs might work on my axle. The spindles, caliper brackets, inner axle shafts, and knuckles are the only pieces there. I went to the wrecking yard the other day seeing what was out there and found a complete ttb front axle on an '83 F250 that I was staring at for a while wondering if the pieces might work on my axle.

Apart from converting everything to chevy parts from the knuckles out, is anyone aware of other bearing hubs from a newer Ford that will work on the axle I have?

Thanks in advance!

it depends on if the f250 is d50 or d44 if its a 44 hub and such should iner change it will be 19 spline like the 1/2 ton stuff. if its a d50 its d60 size barings and hubs it will be 30 spline.

Some parts interchange, which can be helpful to complete an axle someone has partially stripped.

From the above thread:

THINGS THAT WILL SWAP OVER:
gears
rotors
calipers
lockouts

THINGS THAT WILL NOT SWAP OVER:
knuckles
spindles (FSB thread says it is six bolt)
axle shafts

If I am reading correctly, I may have a set of extra hubs for a Dana 44 3/4 ton with discs. I am installing a 1976.5 D-44 HD into my truck, and I had some extra parts. If you need these and want to talk info, PM me.
