d44 can have 3.54 in jeeps but chevy are 3.08, 3.73, and 4.09 stock.

you probably have 3.73

90% of 3/4t d44s are 4.09 ratio and that is probably steeper than you want. a 14b is much much easier to r&p.

Is there any easy way to tell what gears it has? - other than to count the teeth. I had someone check the numbers on the housing but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Can I get a 14b rear out of a 2wd or 4wd truck and just R&P it to match my front Dana 44??
How hard is it to find a 3/4 ton rear - either a Dana, Eaton, or 14b?? - what usually comes in them?? - I know that 14b is the most popular and usually a little more $$ - and I'm not rock crawling with this thing so I figure that any of the rears are plenty strong enough.

I'm assuming that you would have to cut the spring perches off and relocate them.
