You may have to do something to bolt the driveshaft up

Dana 44 chevy would be too much work for little gain. You could find a 70's ford dana 44 and narrow the passenger side tube. For 33's max daily driving the dana 30 jeep axle would probably be the simplest way to go. Dana 30 should be the same lug pattern you have and you should be able to find...
Probably the best upgrade would be to scrap it and get at least a dana 44. You would save yourself money in the long run if you are looking to wheel. My dad destroyed 2 ring gears in his dana 30 early bronco on 29" tires and a very tired 302 v8 plowing snow. Not worth the time or money in my...

I had the same mind set of not being able to fit places I used to when I was debating going full width or narrow. I actually narrowed an axle and couldn't get the cast '79 c to go in far enough cause I didn't prep it enough or use the hot/cold method to press it back on. (live and learn) I...

Step by step is hard to come by as there are so many axle and suspension combos. You gotta know what you want to do with it and what your budget is. Is it gonna see pavement, etc?
