ones a high pinion and the other is not . why is it that i find one 79 bronco with a high pinion and another one with a low pinion. they are both stock and both 1/2 to?

from the way I understood it the 79 Bronco only got the HP D44. the other front must have been swapped in for some reason.......did the LP have cast on wedges?

Yea i had the same type of question too. But mines on a 9 inch so its a little different. Whats the difference between a big bearing and a normal 9 inch? I was wondering if it had to do with the size of the pinion. My nine inch has the really big pinion, and some other ones i have seen dont... i need some answers myself

thanks bro, i found some useful information on my nine inch

I found out that i have a C7AW-E iron case,and a D2SW-C pinion support. I also need to look more for my bearings and shiet, i found some info on there and i just need to check the bolts...i got them laying around some place

but thanks bro, this crap is useful, very

i'd have to agree with DBrown on this both my 78 and 79 i had came with d44 hp. to my knowledge the 78-79 bronco's only came in hp most likely the lp axles were swapped in. is the one your using lp or hp? what year f-150 tou pulled it from? i think early 70's models came with lp d44.

The dana 44 I got out of a 78 f150 is a HP. No help with the 9" tho.

I can tell you that the 68 f100 D44 I first pulled for my SAS was a HP/open knuckle/kingpin. if the axle has not been swapped and you can get pics of it still in the truck MR.N on pirate will pay you $20 for a pic of that......he has a bet going for a few years now and hasen't lost yet. I'm pretty sure that this is what he is talking about. do a search over there and see if you can find the thread......it might be worth your while.

I looked for like 6 months for my D44, and all the 79 broncos i saw(like 12) all had hp's, never saw one lp.

p.s. My is one of those high pinions.
