We have a good selection of parts for the 1973 to 1980 GM Dana Spicer Model 44 solid front 4x4 drive axle. The 1973 model year Dana 44 had a number of engineering changes that made it stronger and more reliable than the 1972 axle, The Dana 44 was the sole front drive axle used in by GM from 1973 to 1976 for SUVs, 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4x4 vehicles. In 1977 GM started to replace the Dana 44 with the all new corporate, 10 Bolt, 8-1/2" Ring Gear, beam type solid 4x4 front drive axle, however, the Dana 44 continued to be used by GM to the 1980 model year after which it was dropped entirely from the GM lineup. For the Dana 44, 1977-1/2 also marked a change in the hub and spindle design for all models. Although the differential parts are totally different, the 1977 to 1980 GM Dana 44 and the GM 10 Bolt front axles share a lot of common parts from the axle u-joints out to the hubs.
