I have the D60-2 in the rear, and a closed-knuckle D44HD from a '67 J-3000.
The passenger side u-joint went, and took the axle ends with it. I'm looking
to replace the '67 D44 shafts with stronger units. Used D60 front ends are
almost as expensive as a NEW D60 front here, so a swap is too pricy for me.
I have heard of Moser, Strange Engineering, and Warn. I'm looking for the
stronger aftermarket chrome-moly ones, about SAE 4340, preferably with the
760X u-joint.

Do you know of, or had dealings with , a good, reputable company that sells
these? I need a new set ASAP, so I can get the old girl back on the road
(and the trail).
