79 F150 Dana 44 Axle Question - 2000F150SAS - 01-19-2010
We just pulled our 79 Dana 44 apart last night and found a couple of problems. This will be a street, trail, and beach truck, no heavy wheeling.
Driver side outer axle - the splines are a little screwed up from the snap ring out, is this a problem?
Passenger side outer axle - the smooth part of the axle next to the splines has a few grooves. These grooves are about 1/4" in width, smooth, but not that deep, is this a problem?
Thanks

Broncomania,
Would you or know of anyone in the area which may have a extra outer axle (stock ford)? I don't like the pass. side one and since we are rebuilding the axle from end to end i think i would like to replace it.
Thanks, John
