More dumb questions 72 blazer
 
My front axle is labeled 44-5f from what I gather that is a Dana 44. I wanted to replace my brake rotates they are rusty not grooved or necessary bad. Since it’s one piece with the outer hub I can’t seem to find the correct rotors. Also now that I’m in this far I’d like to change my axle u joints. And the dust seal that goes against that knuckle is shot.
My question is what is the best way to go about ordering the correct parts?
Thank you for everyone’s patience and assistance through this process

I’m pretty sure the rotors separate from the hub. The lug studs hold everything together from what I remember. They are pressed together. When searching use 72 K10. If you search Dana 44 most parts that come up will be Jeep.

Found these when I rebuilt my Dana 44 5 years ago.

One more. Rock auto is a great source. I bought all the seals here.

Awesome thank you fellas.
I decided yesterday to go ahead and rewire the whole truck as well. After going through and trying to clean up multiple cobbled messes. If anyone has helpful tips to make that process easier as well that would be great. I went with the painless kit

Like Kirk said, Rockauto.
Half the parts I used to restore my truck came from Rockauto, and I'm in Canada.
Great place to deal with and good prices.

You can still purchase the K series rotor and hub assembly brand new, albeit not cheap.
