any chance the d44 is early enough to have flattop knuckles? I'd make an offer right now, but having the money to offer is paramount. I have a check sitting at the post office, it came registered mail, so I gotta go sign for it, and the post office is only open when I'm at work. what a pain that is. If that front axle is still available when I manage to get down there I'll definately put an offer in =)
