Finding widetracks in the junkyard to grab the shafts from isn't likely, but if it helps, the Chevy stub shafts in both D44 and 10bolt fronts are identical to the ones in FSJ front D44s. It's the inner shafts that are different lengths for D44s and different spline count between D44 and 10bolt. If your budget allows, you could spend big money for new inner shafts and source the stub shafts from the junkyard.

Thanks for joining and saying hi!. I assume you know from lurking that the 79 and 83 drive trains are not compatible. And I love the pics, that's a great looking jeep. I had to smile at the antenna. Mine did the same thing. Looking GOOD!
