Hp 44 Install Pics!

BillR · Dec 26, 2004

It's bolted in, with springs and all CAs in place.
The turdy removed..

BIG hole!

And the 44 IN!

Still lots of work to do, (trackbar shortening, steering and brake install) but the hard part's done! :wave:

If you're talking about the box in the 3rd pic, those are my Superior alloy rear D44 shafts. They're dual-drilled for both bolt patterns, and I'm having the drums drilled for 5 on 5.5 to match the Ford rotors in front.

30 spline. I used the No-Slip I had in the rear for a front locker. The rear has a Detroit now.

I'm doing the Super 44 kit for my rear. I've already got it, just needs to be installed.

AC stick welder! GOOD penetration!

Good job, I like the way that looks. I'm going to put a HP44 in mine this week. Could you tell me if you cut and turn the knuckles? What did you set your pinion angle and caster?

Thanks. The knuckles were turned when I reinstalled them after shortening the housing. I set the caster at about 6* negative, and the pinion's pointed at the t-case.

A set of 35x12.50 Dunlop Mud Rovers are sitting on the garage floor just waiting their turn... :laugh3:

YETI · Dec 27, 2004

DO you really need that bracket that is bolted to the diff cover? Isn't the brige plate that mounts on either side strong enough? Does it serve another purpose I'm not seeing?

Sorry for all the questions just curious.

BillR · Dec 27, 2004

I've HEARD that it's strong enough without it, but there's some stress there with the UCA. The bracket adds some extra support directly under that area.
