Hello All,
I am rebuilding the d44 front axle in my 77, and have accumulated all of the parts and tools. I will be installing a Detroit truetrac with 33 tires, and a 351w. I am not sure if I should bite the bullet, and order chrome moly axles shafts as well, or if I can get by with stockers. I plan to take it in the sand and some trails, but no serious rock crawling. I don't want to put all of this time and effort into rebuilding the front end just to have the axles break down the road. What would you suggest? Thanks!
