I think 'junk' might be a bit harsh, as most people would consider just about every part of 'our' era trucks to be junk. I'm assuming you are referring to the unenlightened masses and not one of us, who love our old junk.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to stir up s*** because I'm not. I love all the different opinions on this forum, and learn something new every time I log on.
Thanks, Tom
What I was trying to intimate was that most 4wd guys would give away that axle because you can get a later disc brake Dana 44 for super cheap that has aftermarket support and will bolt in to our trucks since the general was kind enough to keep the spring perches the same from 55.2 to the end of the straight axle run in the light duty trucks. If someone needs an original drum brake closed knuckle dana 44 for a restoration or parts, then go for it. I couldn’t care less what someone uses on their truck. I just didn’t want anyone thinking that’s a napco axle.
