Re: 79 Cj-7
Well, 60 and 44s have "D60" or D44 cast into the webbing on the front side of the axle, usually on the bottom most webs near where the tubes insert into the casting......usually.
That's the best place to start.
J-truck series axles aren't really a good match for your Jeep unless you are going with a D20 tcase (which I wouldn't recommend), but it also largely depends on your plans for the rig, and the overall budget you have in mind.
The fact of the matter is: for the amount of money you're going to spend to build a D44 front axle, you might as well buy a D60 front. The only difference is the initial purchase price of the boneyard axle and that difference is substantial (around here $150-250 for a D44 and $1000-1500 for a D60), but after that, axle shafts, bearings, brakes, calipers, lockers, gears, steering arms, knuckles, etc. are only slightly more expensive for a D60 and you get a MUCH stronger front end.
HTH,
Sean
