OP
@fizzlebottom's Dana 35 troubles are over, as he is now in possession of my old Dana 44 (thanks, @Alex01). Now we just need to find him a matching geared (3.73) Dana 30 for the front. There had been a couple locally on Craigslist that were cheap, but they're no longer listed. Maybe one will show up again soon. I'll be keeping an eye out for one for him. Nice guy!
A gentleman and a scholar. 10/10, would recommend. I'll definitely keep an eye out for a 3.73 Dana 30, cause having a shop swap gears seems to be the most expensive route imaginable.
