steve7119 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Do the same thing the 1:1 guys do. Pick your axle and make it to fit. Calnaga Castings has a dana 44 casting with the outer axle ends. Cast center section uses brass tube with the cast ends. I got a set and they are really good. You can use any axle that is correct for the time period. I am working on a 55 stepside conversion and the dana 44 has been around since then.
