Cut the chunk out of a junkyard 44 and weld it to a regular trailer axle
Doesn't work like that. Can't put a 14 bolt differential into a 10 bolt housing. You'd basically have to weld up a new housing to fit the 44 in there. If a 44 is a must have, it needs to be a 44 axle.

I'd take the gears out of a broken 44 and run a solid axleshaft all of the way through with d44 hubs so it wouldn't drag

if you left the shafts in the axle you could swap them out when you snap one
and then what do you mount your trailer tire to when you take out the axle/hub?

Eta: unless you have a full floating rear D44

You're overthinking what I was saying.

Take your basic old standard trailer axle. Take a cut out D44 diff, and hack it to where you can put it over the axle for cosmetic purposes.
