I found a nice little write-up on the D44 swap into a toy. They are cutting the long side of the axle shaft by 4" and using a Wagoneer shaft. Its not quite "full width" but its still 6" wider than the toy axle. The D44 has 31.5" perch to perch while the toy uses 29". If you kept the full width the 29" would run into the pumkin. So it needs to be shortened.
As far as brakes they're using a T-100 booster with a full-size chevy master. It sounds like a pretty easy swap.
Other than that you'd have to get a custom driveshaft.

I dont know I guess its just me but the fullwidth axle look just doesnt appeal to me. I like the black 4runner there but the red 85 just doesnt float my boat. It looks so redneck. Honestly I've seen a 4runner on 44's with the toyota axles and it looks much better. Plus Toyota 8inchers + 44's = mad pmpkin clearance. I'd go a different makes motor but not axles, the Toyota strength to size is just unbeatable.
