Corp 10Bolt to Dana44 Parts Swap?

[socoinslo]

I have a quick question for you guys. I do no have a lot of experience with a Dana44, but I have heard that the hubs, spindle and knuckles from Dana 44's and Corp 10bolts are interchangeable. Is this true?
If so, if I want to put my 10bolt hub assembly on my D44, should I also swap the Spindles out to keep the hub and spindle pairs together? or is that not necessary?

The parts can be interchangeable, but if you have the small bearing D44, the spindle will have to be changed since the 10b runs a larger wheel bearing.

Ah I see.... Thank you. I should probably just switch the spindles and be done with it then.

75-77 D44, have the same hubs/bearings/spindles as front 10bs.

But, other than the bearings/spindles, I believe everything from the knuckles out are the same.

Do you think that, if I find the spindles to be the same, there are any issues/concerns with throwing the hub from one onto the spindle of the other? ie any wear issues. Or if it fits, then Im good to go?

The bearing RACES Are all the same.

The outer bearing (I believe) is the same ID/OD.
The inner bearing ID's, are what differ.
The 10b front's inner bearing ID is 1.625 (big bearing), if memory serves.
I think the small bearing is 1.5-ish.
