axle identification

[Rockjunky317]

i pulled a axle out of a 74 ford f-250 camper special today and it lookd like a 50 (it has the 44 diff.) the outers are 8 lug with drum brakes, it has kingpins and a toyota style wheel joints (the knuckle rests on a ball) i just need help figuring out how to get a disc brake kit for it, if you could pm, reply or give me a call at 801-835-9004 it would be appreciated thanks Devin

Sorry to say but closed knuckle 44s are really only worth there scrap metal value. Do your self a favor and buy a open knuckle version with discs already on it (77.5-79 will even be high pinion). You will be money ahead.

It is not HD. The shafts and joints are weak. It will cost more to swap on discs than it will cost for a complete axle with open knuckles and discs.

I had the large trunion version of that axle. Broke a shaft and couldn't buy a new one anywhere. That was 1990.
Pitch it.
