While I am painting my axles on my swb K10 I will have them out of the truck and I was wondering what I should look for on the dana 44's.The truck has never been drove while I have owned it and I never seen it moved except when I pull it with the 4 wheeler from garage to the shop to work on.It didnt have the lockouts installed on the front axle when I got it.So what should I look for on these axles that could possibly be damaged or worn out?Any certain areas to check?Several wheel studs are broke off,where can I get replacements and what is involved in changing them?
