1976 Ford Dana 44 with 3.50 gears. It's a good axle because it's most likely disc brakes and weld on wedges. If you lift it high you may need to cut the wedges off and rotate for better caster.

3.5 gears are no good with 38's. You will need 4.56 gears.

Dana 44 will not survive with a locker and 38's unless you get chromoly shafts and joints.

They used a y link instead of true cross over steering. Hopefully you'll trash and do custom DOM steering or at a minumum get the linkages from a 78-79 model.
