Dana/Corp parts compatability? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are any parts compatabile between a front Dana 44 and a Corperate 10?

Im wondering if I could make a 6 lug 44 into a 8 lug with parts (spindles, rotors , brakes) from a 8 lug corperate 10?

Yes you can do that. I think the axle shaft splines are different. And the center link comes up from the bottom instead of down from the top. But you could use the D44 knuckles. And the brake caliper hoze is different. I would try to get the whole axle and use what i needed.

Yes, take from the outer knuckle out.

So it sounds like I would loose the flat top knuckle from the dana 44. If I swap from the knuckle out. Can the Corperate 10 be converted to cross over steering?

Yes. You can also compare the knuckles. I think the spindle bolt pattern is the same. Just be sure to match the brake bracket, brakes and spindle to the hubs/bearings.

major differences are the INNER axle splines and length, caliper banjo bolt is metric, axle tube is wider

spindle and out (if you want to keep your knuckles) should all be the same. Outer axle shafts might be different between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton. But you can use the one's from the corp10, just change at the Ujoint.
