Re: first year for 10 bolt fronts?
According to ck5 - http://coloradok5.com/specs.shtml
there were either a d44 or 10 bolt starting in 1977 & 1978 with the 10 bolt being the only option starting in 1979.

Re: first year for 10 bolt fronts?
i had this conversation not to long ago a friend of mine was positive that they started using the 10 bolt in 1979 until i brought him one with 1976 stamped in the ring gear?

Re: first year for 10 bolt fronts?
It sounds like "77" was the first year, if they dated late "76".
