From what I've read any open knuckle D44 can swap parts or combinations of them to mix/match lug patterns/brakes. Is the axle your looking at open knuckle? If so swapping parts is cake.

 

Ya its open. Didn't you say you had some D44 hub & stuff? what was the bolt pattern? Please say 5x5.5

 

Ya i have been doin more research and supposedly any disc brake D44 parts will work (everything from the knuckle out of course) ill hit up the junkyard tomorrow and take a look and see what will work

 

Lol, if its open knuckle go for it if its cheap. you can convert it using a hybrid of parts lol

I have the Chevy spindles,hubs, calipers, rotors ect. which from some links say you will need the Chevy spindle,rotor,calipers with a ford hub to convert it? Mine are the Chevy big bearing setup 6x5.5 lol

 

Oh well! No worries

 

I'd say it grew on me
