Whats a better combo....

[SchnorrCS]

....Dana 44 HD front/12 bolt rear or 10bolt/10 bolt, or any combo there in. See, I may have a second blazer, which I will combine with my current blazer, to make 1 sweet blazer. I will have (1) dana 44 with spare shafts, (1) 12 bolt rear, (1) 10 bolt front, (1) 10 bolt rear, all with 4:11s. What do you guys think?

Strength wise, the 44 and 10-bolt are pretty much the same. There is more aftermarket support for the 44. In the rear, just about anything is better than a 10-bolt so the 12-bolt would be an upgrade

That's kinda what I was thinking. I may swap the rear and leave the front for lazyness reasons and all.....It'd be a 10 bolt/12 bolt combo...

What he said. Leave the 10 bolt up front and swap the 12 bolt into the rear.

You're sure they're all 4.10's?

 

[SchnorrCS]

either 4.10 or 4.11. I think factory in 74 they were 4.10/4.11. A difference that small won't matter anyway

Have you confirmed the gear ratio?

Just wondering as that's a rather deep gear for a half ton from the factory. It was an option but the chances of getting two half tons with 4.10's (ish) from the factory is rare (especially in the 10 bolt era AKA "the highway gears" era)...go buy a lottery ticket.
