SOLD Wanted: bare Dana 44 housing & 76-77 power steering box

NATEandALLI · Dec 9, 2017

Looking for a bare, empty Dana 44 front axle. Our Bronco is going to be 2wd only and we're thinking about cutting out the center section and replacing it with a section of tube to make it truly 2wd.

Also looking for a 76-77 power steering box. Totally fine if it needs a rebuild.

Why not buy a pair of aftermarket inner C's, some DOM and a set of wedges and build your own?
Early Bronco Dana 44 housings are rare and expensive, even more so in CA.

NATEandALLI · Dec 10, 2017

Not a bad idea. Does someone make new weld on wedges?

/\/\ This is the best idea.
By only using the ends you throw away most of the advantages of the Dana 44 over the Dana 30.

Still looking for a unicorn 76-77 power steering box. Is there such a thing as a 76-77 bronco that gets parted out?

How much are you paying? Mark in San Diego? Beach City Broncos

You know there's a 2WD early Bronco front axle right? I had one a long time ago, out of a mail carrier Bronco I think. Rare, but out there!

Get a six turn box and have it converted to four turn when you have it rebuilt. Most rebuilders will provide this service for an additional fee.

NATEandALLI · Jan 9, 2018

WTO can do quick ratio but its 3.25 turn, not 4 turn. I'm not aware of anyone else doing rebuilds that can do a 4 turn gear swap. I found one place that does a core swap but they're out of 4 turn gear sets.

As far as I knew all EB's were 4x4. Never heard of an oem 2wd version. Interesting if that's actually true. Would be rare enough that I've never heard of it.

I guess I'm willing to spend the same amount as it'd cost to ship my existing 6 turn power box to WTO to have them rebuild it with quick ratio gears and then ship it back.

NATEandALLI · Jan 9, 2018

Btw I do have the stock 302 with trans and transfer case to trade if you're interested. Let me know.

I had one. I can't remember if it was out of a Bronco, or just a mail carrier that used a Bronco chassis.

PSC Motorsports told me they could do a 4 turn swap when I had a six turn box rebuilt about a year ago.

The 2wd Bronco front end came in G100 delivery vans. Good luck finding one.

A couple of threads on them from over the years:
