The actual dana 44 was available until around 78 in the chevys and later in the GMCs. The 73 and newer axles will have a slightly larger axle u-joint, which is desirable. While finding a 71-72 would be nice, I'd say start by looking for a gear ratio that matches your rear or what you want then go from there. You could broaden the search if you include the 10 bolt available up to 87 or 91 depending on truck or suv. One of the biggest differences would be a metric banjo fitting at the caliper.
