Re: 1964 4x4 axle question

My front axle came out of a '64 that I had picked up for parts. I knew that '64 didn't come with disc brakes so I had to do some research when I swapped the axles into my '63. The front came from a '73 3/4 ton Chevy and the rear came from a '73 Dodge van. Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear. The front was a piece of cake. I got the brake lines from 4 Wheel parts for a '73 Chevy. I think that in '73, that the 1/2 tons were also 44's. I think they went to Corp. 10 bolts later on though. That said, years ago I put a '80 something, Corp. 10 bolt 3/4 t into my '57 Napco after the kingpin broke and the axle fit just fine. And the axle came with Warns that were good, so not to sure on the interchangeability on those.
