The 14FF Drum is not part of the bearing hub, it fits on the back side of the hub and the studs are then pressed in place to hold it together. Ebrake cables may work if you have the same style cable on both the 10 bolt and 14FF. There are two separate styles, bolt on (early) and clip on (later). Your rear 10 bolt uses the later clip on style.

Dana 44 8 lug outers should fit your 10 bolt. Inner bearing on 8 lug should measure 2" as should yours. Otherwise, I have the parts for sale.

Dana 44 8 lug outers should fit your 10 bolt.

Not a direct fit if it is pre '77, but any from '77 or later with the larger wheel bearings will work. The minimum you need are backing plates, rotors, & bearing hubs from a '77 or later D44 or 10 bolt front axle. The rest is the same as your 6 lug axle (spindles, axleshafts, brake calipers, locking hubs, etc).

What 71-77 8 lug disc GM Dana 44 outers is not a direct fit and why?

They have different spindles and wheel bearings. They can be used if you change out the spindles, inner axleshafts, wheel bearings, lockouts, etc (basically everything from backing plates out).

Bearings being related to the bearing hub aside, this is based on conversions you have personally done or ?????

I have done these swaps many times and parted out hundreds of these trucks over the years.
