let me be clearer... the 44 is under a '90GMC with a beat 350 haha. it'll hold up in the mud well enough for me right now.

ever since then ive run 60's and never had a problem
street driven? i've seen 44's eat up a 60 driving it a few hundred miles a week

with upgraden timken bearings they do just fine that. but if you drive a daily driver on 44's i think something might be a little upside down in your head ive had trucks that big but i always have a smaller car for daily use

dust so you know i live in PA it doesn't matter what the straight axle is it's worth cash. i go to a junk yard and none of the trucks that had straight fronts have them any more, ford dodge or chev. but our dodge D60 are very good gotta love the king pins, samr as my 73 ford keep them greased and they never wear out.
