I am parting out my 79 bronco. A guy just called me and he needs the dana 44 thats in it. He wants to trade me a dana 60 rear (complete) and a dana 60 front, which needs a half shaft and the hub and rotor assembly. Even trade have no idea on the gears in the dana 60's but I am still thinking of doing it. Just wondering what you guys think.
Would You Do This?

Sounds like a pretty good deal if you are thinking of beefing up something with a 44 on it. You can figure out the gear ratio later, but the info may be right on the pumpkin.
Good luck,

The gear ratio might not match and it will probably need new gears anyhow...
This is a good time to upgrade the shafts and lockers for more strength.
There's no end to it...

No,the 8 lug dana 44 is basically the same as the 5 bolt,only difference is the 8 bolt d44 has bigger rotors hubs and dual piston calipers,the d 60 use whats calles a king pin type spindle instead of ball joints the 44 has.
