Identify my axles please!!

[southernspeed]

I bought a pair of axles off of e bay to use the shafts as spares but the front turns out to be different!
I thought I had a dana 44 front and 12 bolt rear on the truck. Have a look at these pics and let me know what I've got fitted and what on earth I've bought!!

Thats the front on there. This is the front I've bought.

And these are the rears I have.

Any help much appreciated! /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Its definitely a 12 bolt and d44 combo on the ground . And its a 12 bolt and 10 bolt on the truck . For some reason the pics don't work , but your signature does /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

Thanks guys, got a few bits wrong in the link! So if that's a D44 on the ground the shafts won't fit in my 10b will they? Is the D44 better than the 10 bolt?

Only the outer stubs and u-joints will swap (as far as shafts go).

There is realy little difference in streingth between a D44 and 10B.

They are comparable strengthwise , but no the shafts won't interchange , those years not only are the splines different , but so are the lengths . The only things that interchange are the stub shafts , knuckles , and if same size bearing then the spindles too /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

 

[southernspeed]

So are the knuckles, discs and calipers all interchangeable? Shame I can't use the shafts. Lucky I only paid £4.95 for the pair of them then!! (that's about $9.00 to you!)

It looks like you have a flat top knuckle on the 44, so that's cool /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Cool , I can't even get 1/2 tons for less than 100.00 USD at a yard here /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

As for the brakes being the same , yes . There is only one issue with the front from the knuckle out , the spindles have a small inner bearing until the mid 70's , then a large inner bearing from then until 1991 ( d44 and 10 bolt ) /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif
