are all the Chevy dana 44 stock steering arms tapered for the GM 1 ton TRE or are they different depending on what tonnage truck the axle came from? Also the taper is such that it is larger on top and smaller on bottom so that the TRE goes in from the top correct?

Thanks

Most TREs go in from the top. Half ton and one ton TREs are the same, on the chevys. Wagoneers do not use the same sized TREs, although they had D44 fronts. If you need to ream something specific for a one ton TRE end, a snap-on part #R121 reamer has the correct taper.
