I saw a 71 402bbc truck someone had converted.It looked easy to me.They just cut some holes in the frame for the rear spring hangers and bolted them in place.For the the front hangers it appeared they just bolted them on in the stock 4x4 location.The e-brake cable has to be re-routed.Personally I'd get married t-case like a 205.I'm not fond of the Rockwell t-case. I have a married one and it shifts kinda weird. Is your D44 a disc brake setup? I'd assume not from a 66' but never know if someone has done some swapping.
