Is it possbile to have a Dana 44 with an 8lug spindle?

[J-Lu]

Hey everyone. Before I get down to business I just want to say that I'm really excited that I finally have a vehicle of my own. An M1009 (aka Military chevrolet K5 Blazer, powered by 6.2L diesel!)

I've been the proud owner of this beast since September and I don't believe I've ever been this happy in my life. It's a thrill to drive, the 6.2 diesel (couple with a newly installed glass-pack muffler) sounds absolutely demonic and is perfect for disturbing the peace in my neighborhood. My Obsession with 1982 - 1991 Chevrolet C/K series trucks began when I was just a toddler. As a child I had always loved my father's 1988 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 (crew cab, dually, diesel) And ever since then I've always been a fan of Dually trucks, for me if it wasn't a dually, it wasn't real truck. With that in mind, I would love to convert my K5 into a dually, My father let me have the Dana 70 HD out of our old 1974 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 dump truck. I spent an entire weekend test fitting everything to see if it were even possible for a Dana 70 swap and everything seemed to fit nicely. However, I can't afford a new axle for the front end. I was wondering if there were any 8-lug spindles for Dana 40 front axles? If so how cheap are they? In-case anyone's wondering I don't really use my rig for anything other than daily commutes to school and or work. (and a place to sleep whenever I'm too intoxicated to drive, I took out the back seats and put a small bed in the back :P)

This is my ultimate goal. Same colour scheme and everything. I'd also like to get a 1983 - 84 grille and light castings but I think the 1973 - 1980 Fenders match the dually fenders more than the conventional 1981 - 1991 front fenders.
