dana 44 with discs was introduced in '71. In '77 GM started using the 10 bolt front, but they kept using the D44 for a couple more years, as well. '77 was also the year that the K30 was introduced , with the D60 front.

Chevy's have passenger side drop front axles...only Ford has driver side drop.

Thanks for the answer, I made a mistake with saying it was the driver's side drop.
