Inexpensive drive flange Dana 44

[dhenderz]

I am converting a 77 K10 back to stock full time 4x4. The PO removed the original drive slugs and replaced them with locking hubs, which are now rusted & shot. Does anyone make an inexpensive drive flange or slug for these axles? So far all I can find are heavy duty off road/racing/rock climbing units that are more expensive than locking hubs. Am I forced to just put a new set of locking hubs back on the truck?

I think the only cheap slugs are used stock parts. I know they are much harder to find than they used to be.

Thanks Boonie, I did see those. How do the chrome caps attach to the hub? Are they just press fit/hammered into the hubs?

its been a few years, but if I remember correctly, they just press fit into the hub. think I carefully pried the ones in my old 75 out with a screwdriver. many years ago
