Haggar · May 10th, 2006, 10:49 AM

Roughly equivelent in size and strength..

8.5" ring gears, 1.31" shafts..

cool im looking for a dana 44 pass drop full width out of a chevy but i keep running into people saying they have a 10 bolt and i wanted to know the diffrence. are all the parts interchange able?

I don't know if any parts are interchangeable. I've heard some talk about shafts being swapped, but I thought the spline pitch is different even thoguh they are both 30 spline 1.31" fronts..

Earlier chevys, like from the 70s, had Dana 44s.. later it switched to 10 bolts. Dunno the exact year.
