Will older chevy or ford Ring & Pinion fit the front housing of a 96 1500 or the jeep gears ?

 

Any low pinion gear set will work. A lot of Fords where high pinion.

 

You can find your answer here, do the parts look up from what you have to what you want to put it in, and see if the part numbers match. http://www.ringpinion.com/

 

Not enough information here on what you have in hand. It seems like you are saying you have or can get chevy/ford R&Ps. However, what year are you talking about, just for starters? I wouldn't expect much difference other than whether high or low pinion.

There are no "jeep" gears.

You'd be cross referencing part numbers of R&P across Dana 44.

 

Like the late 70's ford front dana 44's and the 75-87 chevy dana 44's ? I figured if i could find some good used gears for my front on a deal i would buy them if they will fit !

 

Here you go....have at it and come back with what you've found "works".
