The Dana 30 from a CJ makes good swap material for '45-'71 CJs because parts are much easier to find, it has open knuckles, and disk brakes where a factory option.

I had a good day at the swap meet yesterday, I bought a 3 series True Trac for a Dana 44 with reverse rotations 3.50 gears attached for $50. I need to change the gears because I'm going install it in a standard rotation front Dana 44.

Well, if your projects go anything like mine, you?ll know that one modification usually leads to another. Here is a case in point.

The Dana 44 is a very common axle and so it is often the least expensive axle to swap into most small Jeeps. Full size Jeeps normally come with Dana 44s or larger axles.

Scout and Wagoneer front Dana 44s are good canidates for swapping into a CJ, but shortening is required to maintain stock widths. These axles can also be put in uncut by moving the spring perches outside of the frame.

Some Jeep "heavy" 1/2 ton pickups used a semi-floating Dana 60 with a 5 on 5 1/2" wheel bolt pattern. The standard 1/2 ton pickups used a Dana 44 and the 3/4 ton pickups used a full floating Dana 60 with different wheel bolt pattern.
