A rear Dana 44? You sure it's not a GM 12 bolt?

Trust about zero of what the previous owner told you, if he said it had a rear Dana 44.
I would pull the diff covers and see what gears you have, and if it actually has lockers. You say there is an air locker in the front axle?

I already pulled them and looked. I think it 3 73 gears but can't tell. And yes for sure has Detroit lockers in rear. And front air lockers. Can't remember the name. Its 3 letters. But has compresser under the hood with air line to the pumpkin. And switches to turn compresser on and switch to lock them in. Already tried them and then work amazing
The ring gears has number stamped on it. You didn't by chance take pictures did you?
The front is probably an ARB.

The front is probably an ARB.

I would also highly doubt the 39,xxx original miles. Probably rolled over once. More likely 139,xxx miles. If not more.
As for the engine, post some pics of that. 425 horse power from a 355 would need some decent parts.
