i picked up a roof rack and a chevy front d44 for real cheap from a guy locally. the axle was basically free. it has flat top knuckles, so i figured it was worth grabbing just for those and the spindles. i do know it's a passenger drop but changing that is no big deal. probably easier than finding a reasonibly priced drivers drop d44 around here, which would likely need to be shortened anyways, so same damn work regardless, and i can do the work just fine.
my question is, do i bother working on this thing? or do i just steal the knuckles and spindles and sell the rest? i gotta imagine the low pinion d44 is still stronger than a d30. there's also the pinion angle, but if i'm welding on the c's, i can adjust that, and i'm not going much higher than 5" of lift anyways.
Whats your opinions?
