I have a High Pinion D44 and a Ford 9" from a 78 1/2 Ford F-150. The 44 is complete from inner-c to inner-c with stock carrier and 3.50 gears. The 9" is minus the brakes, open carrier and 3.50 gears. No rust and ready to go. Picked these up and heading in a different direction now. $450 obo. Willing to trade for KP60, 14 bolt, YJ soft top, Edelbrock 650 carb, lemme know what ya got.

if its a 78 1/2 ton it has the cast wedges that you cannot remove.
Hp 44
The 78 and 79 Bronco / F-100's have cast wedges which this axle is. The F-250 and some 100 super cabs have the 44 with leaf spring perches which are the most desirable. You can get these 44's re-tubed or there is a way to mount leaf spring brackets without removing the casting. I believe I have the link saved on Pirate which how I was going to install this one into my Yj. I have heard it is very easy to swap these into a coil sprung vehicle if you get the factory radius arms but I have not researched that yet. It's even easier with spring overs.
