I have always heard "wheel Face" referred to as "Wheel Mounting Surface" - or abreviated WMS.
As was mentioned, front and rear don't have to exactly match. Ref to 80's Chevies was correct. Front was 2" wider than rear.
If you're wanting to go to Drivers side drop - a Chevy 10 bolt would do - they are almost identical to the Dana 44 and parts are incredibly numerous (and I have a few laying around as well) I don't know the WMS but could find that rather quickly. I also have a Dana 44 pass side drop axle (or two) laying around. If you go with one of those options I would also have a 10 or 12 bolt rear that would work. The advantage there would be ease of parts. Mousee has a set of Chevy 1/2 tons on his Jeep and they do outstandingly well.
As well, I know where there are a few sets of 14Bolt rear and Dana 60 fronts - most folks want a grand for a pair.
