1984 GW - 360/TF727/NP229/D44/M23 - NP242 swap in progress
1986 J10 - 360/TF727/NP208/D44/D60 - 700R4 upgrade in the works
I'm going to say most likely not.
The 10bt uses knuckles similar to the Dana 44 . In fact, I think they might even interchange.
The Dana 30 uses smaller and weaker knuckles than the Dana 44 . In fact, the modern Rubicon front "Dana 44 " uses the same tubes and outers as the Dana 30 and is a known weak spot in that axle. It's really just a Dana 30 with a bigger pumpkin.
