I'm upgrading my axles. Right now I have a pair of 10 bolts with 3:08s. I picked up a Dana 44 with 4:10 gears out of a 3/4 ton, 8 lug. I found a full floater with 4:10 gears for $250. The add says it's for a 4x2. May be a dumb question but what's the difference? Driveshaft yoke? It's out of a 1976 C 20. Thanks.

Maybe. I'm looking at car-part.com which is a listing of junk yards. When I punch in what I'm looking for, the 4X4 axle doesn't say what it is. Meaning 10 bolt, 12 bolt or what. The 4X2 tells f.f. Or s.f. rear. Guess I'll just have to call them.
