Hi I am new here and need some help. I just bought my second 70s dodge w series. 75 w100 But I am having serious issues trying to get front hub bearings right and the half shaft in thru knuckle. Its been nightmare. Previous owner ripped both sides apart and didnt know what he was doing. And has everything beat up. I want to know what front axle I can get to bolt right up and work as it should but be modern and easier to maintenance?

 

You should have a dana 44, Although dana made the axle chrysler made some parts to go on it like the hubs knuckle etc. Not much changed in the 44 but getting one out of a newer truck with the cad unit may be an option.

 

It is a 44 live spindle. I have it all together now except the high steer studs were missing. I just dont like the way its put together like the brake caliper and they are hard on bearings. Plus cost as much to replace parts as to buy axle. Maybe looking to sell it once its road worthy. Like to see it get restored. But it's a good running driving truck for its day
