Don’t know yet, need to clean out the shop a bit so I can pop it open.
Guy didn’t know what the ratio was. He’s been hanging on to it for like 40 years
Ha sounds like my stash. Sold a set of wheels last week I had for 30 years. No joke!
was his name Jeff?
Nope his name was steve
He told me he thought it was in the 3.73 range. Well my luck paid off.
It’s for sure a 3/4 ton D44 with 4.10
Nope it’s a 10b that’s been converted.
Idk I can’t tell they look so similar
This did measure the same axle diameter as another known D44
Has 8 lugs, but doesn’t have passenger flat top knuckle. Does have stock 4.10 gears.
Code on the tube is y9 G0 1061

10 bolt confirmed 
This is going to be the 383 
Where are you guys mounting these brackets in the rear. The front is self explanatory but the rear I’m not sure of also, the pic that’s floating around was not correct for these seats. I should have just built them to the seats lol lost of rework was done 
Sit in it decide what comfortable and lock it down , looks good btw
I got it as low as possible.
Took the wheels out and ground that hinge down. I also only went 1.250” on the bar height the drawing I have shows 1.5” so it’s definitely as low as it can go.
This should work
U bolts to grab the original bars I also gained about 6” of space.
Also I built it in such a way I can flip the brackets around which moves the seat assembly 6” forward or back depending on the placement of the brackets. So if I know I’ll be toting around adults I can flip them around and give more rear leg room. I can also turn the seat to face backward which will be great for camping trips. Cost is about $120 in metal and fasteners. I paid $50 for the seat. So $170 in total for the build plus a couple hours. Do yourself a favor and just build the brackets to the seats not off a drawing floating around on the internet.
