Are the diff covers for all Dana 44's the same?
I was looking at getting a heavy duty steel diff cover for my front axle, but the ones that come up are typically listed for jeeps. Is there a difference between the ford, jeep, GM versions of the front Dana 44's? Pretty sure that's what my 72 Jimmy has for a stock front axle.

Tis true, but front covers are thicker than rears.
