If your 44 is the orignal in your 53, it is a 10-spline. |

you'll need 2 new axle shafts, and 2 syder gears/ side gears to match the new spline count. as for the taper of the shafts, i don't know that. they might be the same. normaly the more splines the on the shaft the larger the shaft becomes. like a ford 9" shaft 28 spline is 1/8 smaller then a 31 spline shaft for the same make. unless the splines become smaller. but the 10 spline shafts i'm sure would have room to resplined to a larger count with out changing size. |
