Looking for a D44 diff cover

[Karlm]

I'm picking up a D44 tomorrow, but the diff cover has a hole in it. Does anyone have an old one laying around? Figured I'd check here before slogging around in a junk yard. Thanks a lot.

How big a hole?, if it's just the common punch, bang it flat and find somone with a welder. Or if you can get a welder, JB or quicksteel should get you by until you can find one.

stupid Pick N Pull! putting holes in everything... that's what it was, right?

just weld a bunch of 1/4" plate all over the cover, you'll need it anyway (assuming you plan to actually wheel it)

If you drive up to Santa Rosa I'd gladly patch it with some 1/4" plate...
or I probably have an extra cover laying around...

Stupid me. Hey I was tired last night. I never even occured to me to just weld and plate it. That would be easier, and more usefull.
