Title: Complete D44 TTB
Post by: GIJoe4500 on June 23, 2008, 07:37:13 PM
I'm lookin' for a complete (hub to hub) d44 TTB and bracketry out of a 80-96 Bronco or F150 4x4.  I'd Much prefer 3.55 gearing in it, but I'll settle for anything.  If possible, I'd also like to get everything attached to the axle.  Coil springs, radius arms, etc.  Most importantly the radius arms.

Let me know what you have, or have seen!
I'm in Macon, but will drive a decent ways for a smokin' deal.

Well damn.  That doesn't do me many good now, does it?  hahaha.  I guess I'll hit up Bob's on Saturday to see what he has, and what's he's gonna charge me.  If anyone wants to go, post up, and we can all head out there Saturday mornin'.

Bobs will want an arm and a leg. The pull a part will be around 100.00 for all and factor in gas. Check and see with bobs first but I will bet he will be more and may not have all of your parts.


Ps are you converting a 2 wheel to 4 wheel? I have a soild d44 if you want to go that route.

I would LOVE to go that route, but it would cost too much to convert to a 4x4 going that way.  Even though I would prefer that.  Plus, its my only vehicle, so I can't afford to have it off the road while building it up.

Oh, and where is the pull-a-part you are referring to?

Atlanta here you go  http://pullapart.com/Locations/LocationDetail.aspx?locationId=3

I will go with you but it will be some time in July before I can go. I will spit gas with you and help pull your parts. We can drive my beater truck 25mpg but ugly. I need to find a trans when I go and need someone to help me pull it. Just let me know.

I would check with bobs first just to confirm but Im pretty sure he will be higher.

That sounds good to me.  July isn't too far away.  Even if I do get what I need from Bob's, or anywhere else, I'll still go with you, and help you out.  And your 25 mpg in your beater is a LOT better than my 12-15 mpg in my beater.

Sounds good.  July is only next week.  I'm still probably gonna check out Bob's this weekend, try to find little things I need that'll only cost me a dollar or two each.

I just emailed a guy in Athens that is partin' out a 1989 F150, so hopefully he'll give me a good deal on the front axle.  He's also sellin' some 32" buckshot mudders on rims, so if the price is right, I'm going to pick it all up.  Only issue is that I have to drive to Athens.  Hopefully, he'll pull the axle for me, so I don't have to!  Oh, and the d44 ttb has mile marker manual locking hubs already installed.

Well, I've talked to the guy a lot, got some pics.  And I'm going to put up my stuff outside of Athens this coming Sunday.  I have to pull the parts myself.  For a grand total of $400, I'm getting:

D44TTB front axle with Warn lock-outs
8.8" rear axle (might have LSD, guy was unsure)
5 - 15" black Rock Crawler Series 51 rims
4 - Maxxis Buckshot Mudder 32x12.50x15 (50% tread)

Anyone wanna help pull some axles on Sunday?  I'll buy lunch, and dinner.  And we can go out drinkin' sometime.  Drinks will be on me.

Good deal Make sure to take a good grinder and punch the rivets that hold everything on are a pain in the big toe to get out. Or cutting torches will work good to. I will not be in town or I would go help you. It will take about 8 hrs to remove every thing you need. Have FUN.  ;D

Nothing I'm taking has rivets.  Only thing with rivets is the radius arm brackets, and the coil buckets.  I already have those on my truck.  Only thing I lose from not swapping out the coil buckets, is that I go from the dual shock setup up front, to a single shock setup.

Good. All the other brackets match up?

According to everything I have read on fullsizebronco.com, yes all the brackets match up.  I'm actually about to start re-reading all the write ups on the swap that I can find, so nothing catches me by surprise.
