M1028 Axle frustrations

[tRustyK5]

The 1984 1028's had the dana 44 front, very few came with the 60 in 84' and the one's that did were specialty rigs usually with a radio or ambulance box. 85' i believe they all had 60's and from then on. I've bought several 86's from GL and when i picked them up, there have usually been a few 1984's and they all had 44's in front.

Sounds like you've been victimized too...

Like "what's-his-name" ( ) already said the pick-up based CUCV's all came with D60 fronts. Any with a D44 have been robbed and swapped for re-sale to someone unsuspecting. Hell, the last production year for an 8 lug D44 front was '78...with a lot of 10 bolts already under trucks starting in '77 already.

thanks to a MV dissmantler I've dealt with several times on ebay—his ebay username is muddobber40

That seller is here in Kansas, about 3 hours from me. He's also a member on this site, goes by muddog.
