Twin I beam w/ Dana 44 parts, be more specific

Dana 35

The front axle is a Dana 35 TTB- (twin traction Beam) axle with either automatic or manual locking hubs from the factory.
The 4wd system is a part time, shift on the fly (either push button electirc shift, or lever operated manual shift)

Were there many made with the manual hubs/transfer case?

No, but I dont know the percentage with/without. Maybe 3-5%?
I tried to order one back in 90 and my Ford dealer tried like hell to talk me out of it- said he wouldnt be able to sell it if I backed out of the deal. He did a good job too I ended up with the Navajo with the "touch-drive" case, and auto hubs.

Just about everyone on this site wants the manual TC now and they seem to be hard to find- removes the maintainance problem with the shift motors. I want one. The manual hubs are a popular aftermarket replacement (FYI- warn was the OEM for the manuals) for the autos- cheaper than replacing the autos and a bit more reliable if you use 4x for more than snow and the occasional dirt road.
