Re: axle swap
What's wrong with your 10 bolt?

Re: axle swap
IMO, I wouldn't bother. GM D44's are so hard to get parts for anymore, and I've seen 10-bolt fronts handle the same types of abuse the D44 can take. Losing the 10-bolt rear, go for it if the price is right... but the worst that'll happen to you front is you snap an axle and the axles in those are a dime a dozen compared to D44 front axles.
