Just picked these up and noticed the knuckles look a little weird are they chevy knuckles??? Or is this not a Dana 44?? Or did ford make a flat top knuckles??

Is the pumpkin on the pass side or drivers?

Gee oh Dee

IIRC Ford is on the driver side. Chevy is passanger.

It's a drivers side drop

I want sure if someone had already switched to chevy flat top knuckles

Ford used one like those on some 3/4 ton 44s. How many studs do they have, Ford have 5 and Chevy, Jeep and IH have 6. Brakes look like Ford to me.

They are 5 stud I was just curious for parts if the hubs and everything on the outside were chevy parts now? Not sure how the whole chevy knuckle conversion works

Bump

Gee oh Dee

Please don't ''bump" threads.

Have you tried looking other places like google since, you know, that's not a Jeep part?

How about posting some better pics of the axle at least? Or giving us some casting numbers from the axle or even the knuckles?

I would say that is a Chevy knuckle and steering arm. But that is not really a problem. Those parts will mix and match. But you have some knuckle work to do. The disk brake bracket seems to be broken or missing on the driver side. Now might be the time to think about a high steer on the pass side and upgrade the drive side as well.

I've got 2 sets just like them outside that are Ford knuckles. If they have 5 studs, not lugs for the wheels but for the spindle, they are Ford. Chevy brakes mounted different as well. Not a lot of them have that arm on them, mostly a 3/4 ton thing but they are out there.

Here is a ton of info on IDing a Dana axle.
