Looking for a Dana 44 to put in rear of a 1962 Willys Pickup

The off centered bit restricts you. Look for a '78-ish Wagoneer. Some of them had the off centered Dana 44. Might as well get the front too to make it open knuckle.

i have a couple 44's from early 70's but they are centered.not sure if it would be better to try to adapt another t/c to center it up. just a thought.

A Dana 20 should swap in place of the Dana 18 you currently have. They are essentially the same housing. The Dana 20 housing has a thicker wall and the output shaft is centered.

I used a Dana 20 housing when I rebuilt my Dana 18 t-case.

sorry...i love willys pickups

that rear is an AMC 20.not the best choice unless you upgraded to 1 piece axles.

Weren't the Wagoneer AMC20s thicker walled tubes than the CJ AMC20s?

You used to have one of those in back of your garage Jeepman. Of course that was a few years ago.

yea,had several over the years.only problem with one of them is the width.

When I first got my 62 wagon it had the stock d44 that was off centered and I had a dana 20 transfercase in it and I had no vibes with the offcenter drive shaft

I swapped a matching set of dana 44 from a 70s scout 2 into my wagon I know the feont will work for you but the rear axle I think is alittle wider I will pull out my book from willys America they have a good little right up on common axle swaps

The willys pickip rear is wider, wms to wms is 57" so you need to use a chevy truck or blazer rear axle or a ford 9" out of a staition wagon or van both sets of axles are about 56" wms to wms
