1978/79 axles 200 for the pair. Good Deal??

[67u13]

I have the oppurtunity to buy a set of axles off of a 1978 or 1979 Bronco for 200.00 and I remove them. The front has discs and the rear is standard drums. I currently run stock Dana 30 and a good 9 inch rear. I think I can get the power steering gearbox thrown into the deal. Is this a good deal?

Definitely!. The full-size later model Bronco guys would kill for a deal like that to do an SAS in the front and get rid of the 8.8 in the rear. The PS box is a benny..just needs the guts from a 2wd box to use in an EB upgrade..

You need to narrow that D44 5" on the pass side to put it under your rig and still use EB inner axles..or you can find a drum brake D44 EB housing and just use eveything from knuckles out to make it disk. The chunk out of that 9" will be 31-spline too..if you didn't know that already.

For complete axles, that's a smokin good deal. Jump on it!


You got thing thing running yet?

Yeah Gummi Bear, I have the motor running perfect, Transmission and transfer case work perfect. I was about to do the complete brake system but then I started considering this deal instead. Still haven't gotten up the nerve to cut out the fenders though. I will, just not yet. After the brakes, the only things left are the wipers(vacuum) and the blinkers and I will be driving it. I am psyched to say the least.

A couple years ago I bought just the front Dana 44 h.p. for $150 and thought I got a good deal. Yours bets mine. Grab it or let me know where it's at and I'll jump on it (if you pass)

I paid $300 for a set but it was the HP D44 earlier model with welded wedges and the FW 9" rear axle.

$300 was a deal for me.. You're getting it cheaper.
Better hurry before someone offers the seller more for them.

There is a guy in town that wants $200.00 for the axels out of his parted out 78 big bronco. The front has a disk brake set up on it. The axles are complete. Any interest ? local guys? I snapped up the 205

Last HP44 front I bought was 75 bucks, and the rears are even cheaper. If they are good condition I would say 200 is OK, but your certainly not stealing them
