Best place to buy Dana 44 parts

[63 uni 4x4]

Hello guys- I have a unique one. 63 longbed unibody on a 65 4x4 chasis.

I recently had one entire side of the axle sheer off (long story short, the last owner of the truck liked meth, lots of deferred maintenance).

I need to get a new wheel bearing and studs for mounting the steering knuckle to the axle but have been having trouble locating the parts.

Any suggestions about where the best place to source these parts?

i bought bearings from the auto parts before, last time was a few years back when i had the stupid idea of putting automatic locking hubs on my truck and one broke and grenaded the bearing.

if you can get the old studs out you should be able to match them up.

i do have a few 44 fronts up here that i might be persuaded to part
out although i would rather not if you could find the parts elsewhere.

you did not mention f100 or f250 4x4 but here is a diagram



here is the sheet on the knuckle seals (the felt and wiper)



good luck, feel free to contact me by PM if you cannot find what you need.

perfect, that diagram helps a ton.

and yes its a 250 with the 3500 axle.

greatly appreciated sir.

if you plan on keeping it you may want to hunt up a parts front end.
i was told the spindle is obsolete and no longer stocked. its not the same one from the later disc brake units.
i like to keep a couple axles and t cases around just in case i need something.
