Re: The Colorado BS thread
Lol... I've done the same thing, in the same place. FYI, there's another coin-op about 3 miles east of there on County Line and it's much better. Its cleaner, the washer works a lot better and switches faster, and there's a digital screen that shows how much time you've got. Haven't gone back to that one since I found the new one.
Got the jeep all fixered up. Other then the locking lugnuts. I need to take it to discount friday and have em pull those off for me. Heres a couple pics over by troys house.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
The owner named it HULK. I spent the day thinking "Bride of Frankenstine." It cam with a FF 8 lug rear, he wants matching wheels.
After getting intimate with the 8 lug front axle, I'm not so sure it's a D-44.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Uh... gf saw this and said "don't 44's have 6 lug?"
8 lug is one ton. D44 is 3/4.
Ya sure that ain't a 60?

Why yes, it is a D-44, with a high pinion and (I think) disc brakes. He's not sure if the knuckles and brackets are cast on or welded.YELLAHEEP said:What's he gonna do with the axle that's currently under the "Hulk"? That wouldn't happen to be a D44 would it???? :shhh:

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Ford and Chevy both used 8 lug D44's in their 3/4 ton trucks. I think Dodge and International used 8 lug D44's at some point too but I'm not sure on that one.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I've learned something new, or maybe forgot. The 610005 is the Dana/Spicer BOM. Interweb searches indicate that it is a D-44.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Anybody ever use a D44 rear out of a scout? I can get it for $100 from a buddy of mine. He hasn't called with the measurements yet. I did a quick search and didn't see what I was looking for.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I ran one for several years -- if you get one out of a Scout II, it will be 58" wms to wms, you'll likely want a 1" spacer, but with a spacer/adapter that allows you to get back to 5 on 4.5. I ran a TSM disc brake kit, but if I were to do it over with, I would have stuck with the HUGE 11" drums on the Scout II. I exploded the Trac-loc carrier in mine, and based on the metal content of that early 70's carrier, I would avoid that LS like the plague. IIRC the tubes are a little thin compared to stock XJ D44's, but thicker than most of the TJ versions. Otherwise, cheap, widely available axle uses all regular D44 internals. If its out of a Scout 800, it'll be way to skinny to fit on XJ leaves, so pass.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Aside from what grin said, some early scouts also used a course spline D44 (16 spline IIRC) that you'll wanna stay away from if you can.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
That'll only be Scout 800's from the mid-60's, and yeah, they're 19 spline but you can't use them anyways. All the 70's through early 80's Scout II's will be regular 30-spline D44's.
