So this is supposed to be a Chevy 1 ton... But its driver drop... I dont have access to it right now, and I cant tell what it is from this pick... maybe some one on here will know...

 

That could be a jeep waggy dana44 that are kinda rare.

 

Looks to me like a ford axle.......pass side drop.

Could also be a FSJ waggy axle

 

Yeah I am thinking ford... the rear looks like a 14 bolt... they both are sitting under a 90's tahoe, some one did a solid axle swap... so they could easily be non-matching

 

Is there anyway to tell d44 or d60 from the pics??

 

Not from those pics........better pics, yes

 

Being its a 88-98 truck those never came solid axle and all the sas kits for it use a ford front axle because of the driver side drop t case.Look around the edge of the diff cover it should be stamped on the housing 44 or 60.Take a picture of the hubs those can tell which axle it is.

 

it will be stamped on the webbing around the cover.....

 

Ok, will it need to be de-coded or will there be a 44 or 60 stamped around the cover somewhere?

 

It should have a 60 or 44 in raised letters on the webbing....

Once you figure out what axle it is if its a dana 60 if you can give me the spring pad widths i can tell you if its 70s or 90s.

 

 

I hope these pics help identify the axle... I didnt see a 44 or 60 stamped on it...

 

go back and look again, and clean the webbing near the 9F......it WILL have a number there if it is a dana axle

My bet is it actually says 44-9F....which would be a 79-86 ford front dana 44 with the 8.9 ring gear from a f150/250, and if follows like it did on my dodge, it is a full time axle too.


You really need the BOM number form the axle tube (see diagram I posted a few links above)
.

 

It is a ball joint axle so if you give the spring pad widths i can id it now.
