I'm starting to think you guys don't believe I know how to ID axles.  Does 
it not register that I picked up the 14 bolt at a different place than the 
Dana 60?  I like how the dana 44 fronts apparently don't exist in the form I 
found them.  Yup, they don't exist, it's all in my head.

Oh yeah, the drums I looked up at the parts counter sure were only 
"pretending" to be cheap.  I knew the year the axle came from and the 
specific truck.  I'm in a real surprise, yup.

BTW, AFAIK the CUCVs share drums anyway, but that's beside the point since 
it's NOT A CUCV AXLE.
