Cooter, thanks for your input! I need that kind of sage advice from the experienced wheelers! See the pic below, the rear axle I bought is indeed a Dana 44, and the front is not the CAD type. I did my homework, bro!

OK, here's what I dragged home today. I pulled a set of front and rear Dana 44 axles out of an '86 Grand Wagoneer that was on its way to meet its fate with a crusher. I thought it was a good deal at $250 for the pair. Externally, they appear to be in excellent condition, and complete.
I also pulled a TF727 out of an '85 Dodge Ramcharger that was rotting away in a salvage yard. As previously mentioned, I'm going to put a very mild 318 in my Jeep. The axles and trans will of course get completely rebuilt.
