Ok i am looking at a dana 44 and dana 60 from a 72 K20 this weekend. From what i have read the 72 D44 uses 260 ujoints. Which is the same as a dana 30.
If i do decide on these axles could I upgrade it to the stronger joints??
It is some what pointless to basically do a lateral move in axles

in 1972 which i believe is the first year of the open knuckle fornt chevy (polease corect me if im wrong) oyu had a 50-50 chance of the smaller ujoint, to upgrade you will need new shafts.....easy right!

71 one is the first year of the open knuckle. But that was the answer i was looking for

If you go with a bigger shaft will not not also need the carrier for the larger shaft?

No the shaft spline and diameter is the same, the yoke ears are larger to accomodate the bigger u-joints
