    I would think that the old light duty axle would not flop around if it came with a smaller set of plates, to match it's smaller size. The corporate one I bought is bigger and it didn't come with a set of plates. I am worried that I have plates that are too small for the corporate axle. I intend...

    What I meant was, how do I know that I don't have the plates from the light duty version......Someone could have swapped those in too....

    Dana 44 tube is 2 3/4" Corporate 10 bolt is 3" i don't have a caliper big enough for exact measurement, so this was done with tape measure.

    Don't have measurements yet, but the one larger ubolt is big enough and goes on near the pumpkin, the other three are too small. Cousin said he could bang on with a hammer, but then they'd be a V shape and they wouldn't go into the plates.

    This does not explain why the ubolts from the dana 44 are too small for this diff.... I am really getting frustrated with this truck!

    Do I need actual bigger u bolts? My cousin said the ones from the dana 44 aren't wide enough to go around the corporate 10 bolt - we confirmed that is what it was.

    Will the ubolt plates for my dana 44 work on a corporate 10 bolt? Called all the listings on car-part and no luck. Missing pieces, or listing in accurate, etc.

    BTW several junkyards told us to look for 8 lug 4x4 GMs in the 76-87 range and were quoting dana 60s. I'm not doubting any of you, i can see via google that what you said seems correct. Maybe it's just a common misconception.

    Look on the left hand side, most of those are for C20s... possibly mislisted as c20s, but I sent in for quote on 4th one.
