A 63-70's Avanti Spicer 44 rear. If you just need gears or parts to
rebuild yours, they are available.

Not sure I understand your question...
Do you need to know what to ask for?
Or what ratio?
Or are you asking where to get one?
Why are you replacing it?

I haven't ever had to have one serviced, but I suspect it can be
repaired by any competent differential shop. My understanding is that
there are other Dana 44 axles (or other makes and types of axles, for
that matter) that can be used, but the critical issues are going to be the
overall width, the wheel stud pattern, the U-joint attachment, and the
mount tabs for the radius rods.

Avanti used a Dana 44 axle: http://www.theavanti.com/84_roadtrack.htm
