Nikki, thank you for the link to visuals for identification. It's looking closes to a Dana 44, as Paul and CB initially said.

Posted: Tue Jan 16, 2024 1:05 amI want to again thank you guys (PaulH, CB89, Nikki), for nailing this rear end, just from my earlier picture of it. It has warmed up here, so I was able to remove some grit and grime from it and uncovered the numbers 44-1 on the back.

Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2024 4:40 pmThis first picture is of the front bumper of this truck, which is not original to the truck. I'm removing it to try and straighten it and address the rust on the back side of it. See second picture.
Do anyone know of a replacement that will fit without major fabrication? I saw a post on this site stating a F1 fits a 56.

I'm really trying to be cautious in purchasing, as I've been scammed out of $400.00 for a bumper.
