I am looking for the drivers side backing plate for my truck. It is the original Dana 44 closed knuckle. Would be interested in complete axle if necessary. I am in northern Indiana. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also looking for information about the oil or grease that goes in the knuckle part of this axle. My books say 140 weight gear oil, but I have grease zerks and when I take out the plug, it full of grease not oil. Can anyone tell me what this is supposed to have?
