It's a dana 44 out of a late seventies f250. I bought it for a $100 bucks but it has 3.54 gears so i'm gonna need to regear. Otherwise the brakes were fully intact and the pads look good so i'm gonna keep them. The hubs just look old but i'm gonna tear them down and get a better look as soon as i borrow the socket for it. And the shafts look rough defiantly need some new u-joints but more likely new shafts.
