76 Dana 44 Steering Arm - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rano · 03-01-2011, 08:16 PM

I just picked a set of 76 Chevy 4x4 axles to put under my 55 pickup to replace some early 60s 4x4 axles. The front axle is a Dana 44 and the steering arm is missing. I need new studs, cone washers and nuts also. The stock arm would be within about 1-1/2" of the height if the pitman arm so an arm for a 4" plus lift will not work. Where can I find a stock arm, studs, cone washers and nuts?

Everything but the arm , offroad design.
Then again, worth asking them if they have a stock arm laying around.

Might need to go to a boneyard to pull one. Most that lifted a truck and installed the raised arm threw the old arm in the trashcan. I know I did.

The studs are out. Found new studs, cones and nuts at Independent4x. Now working on finding a stock arm 73-78.

I'd post a WTB in the parts board. Let someone else do the hard work of pulling it

. Someone who installed a raised arm will have the stock one laying around. And,they were happy to pull it off to get their truck lifted

I'm pretty sure I've got a stock arm from my 71 K5 laying around at my barn. I held onto it in case I wanted to go back to stock height. It should be the same.

I'm not planning on heading over to the barn anytime soon, though. So, it may take a week or so to get it.... You could have it for the cost of shipping.

Btw, I highly recommend cross over steering...but if you've no lift...

The knuckle steering arm I am looking for is GM #3979552 and is used from 1973-78 on 1/2 ton Dana 44s.

Do you have to be a supporting member to post a WTB ?
