I don't think there's many options for upgrading the u-joint in a closed knuckle 44. If you did tear up the u-joint and ears on the axle shafts probably be better to find a 44 from a 73 or newer and get the larger 297x u-joint and disc brakes. Fairly straight forward to take apart, no special tools needed, no c-clips. If you have Moses Ludel's GM Light Truck Owner's Bible he has a step by step rebuild for a closed knuckle 44 w/ pictures.
