Dana 44 Axle question.

[DUDER 1]

So its been awhile but anyways first thing, is $175.00 a good price for a hp dana 44 out of a 78 F-150. The second question is why does this axle have a dual shock set up, one shock on the radius arm and one on the front of the c clip wedge, i think that is what its called. It looks factory just wondering. Thank you.

That was optional on 1/2 ton trucks, and the Bronco.

Whats the difference between the 1978 bronco axle and the F-150 one.

 

[ghosttrain2]

I believe they are the same for 1978 and 1979 on both models.

$175 is reasonable. I paid $200 for mine originally. one thing to consider is that 78-79 HP44's have cast wedges, another words there is no tube under them, so you can't just cut them off. You'll have to run radius arms.

The only difference is that one can be found under a Bronco and the latter is found under a F150.
