Left over from my 444 refurb of long ago, I have a PV444 rear axle assembly. I replaced it with a B18 - 544 axle to get better ratio with the B20 engine I used in the 444. I expect it will fit. For sure, the handbrake linkage is different but that was not hard to adapt. I believe the brakes are also different - I used front brakes from the 544 to keep the same as the B18 rear brakes. I do not know if the B16 544s used the later brakes. The axle is in Solon, Iowa. Quite a way.....
