74-75 f100 and f150, is the D44 you want, they are a bit hard to find, but they are out there. keep checking the junk yards.

I think its still a good axle, they are metric bolt pattern, ball joints and unit bearings. I'm not sure on the width, but I think they are 65" WMS to WMS, they may also be low pinion front 60's? im not 100% on that though

The unit bearings makes them FAR LESS desirable than a standard HP D60 (ball joint or King Pin).
