Jack, the cool part is that the postal rear 44 is 1.5"s wider than a narrow track amc 20!!! And it hs the right offset!....LOL great rear 30spline (you know the good stuff)

that is sweet, I didn't know that, so it will almost perfectly match the dana 30 front in width. I always hated how the rear in my narrow track axles used to be narrower in the rear.

LOL Yeah, weve done it a couple of times, i am thinking about pcking up a couple of these rears and selling them here or on ebay, if i could only get a calling for them..!!! Hey guest, maybe you can register your name, we dont know who you are and dont want to confuse you with others

That jeep looks sweet! So when you going to come help me put my gears in :mrgreen:

There is a reason for that. If the rear is narrower it will track better through turns. Looks a little weird, but you will see it on lots of trucks and cars.


That is a great choice for an axle. Sounds like spares are easy to come by.
