Re: Dana 44 Front axle no oil?

I Have a 69 K20 and am in the process of swapping out the front drum brake Dana 44 to a disc brake 44.
I found a '72 Dana 44 (though the 71 to 75 all have the big hubs) with 4:10 gears for $75 bucks, but no knuckles, but everything else. And a complete 1/2 ton Corporate 10 bolt for $40 bucks, this got me the knuckles.
Right now I'm changing out ball joints, u-joints, then will pack the bearings, install all new seals and brakes. I have power brakes, but will be installing a 72/73 Power Brake Master cylinder and brake proportioning valve, and I will need new front brake lines.

So with a little shopping around, and just over $500 bucks I will have a rebuilt disc brake bug hub Dana 44.
