Dana 44 close knuckle interchangeable with open knuckle??

Hi I have a 44 closed knuckle and I know they are stronger internally (spline gears). can I put all of the internals from the clothes knuckle into the open knuckle??

Good question. I would think some custom outer axle stub work would be required since the big difference is in the u-joints and maybe length. If the spline gears are different you have to start with closed knuckle inners
