I had the same thing happen at a jy in Memphis. Pulled a D44 one weekend while passing through on a trip back home. On the next business trip out the following week I stopped back in the same jy and found another one.

Man thats so clean compared to any 23yo axle around here! That thing would have been solid rust if it was in michigan! LUCKY!!

Are you going to convert the one you just got to disc brakes and put it up front? Since it doesn't have the drums...
