you can swap an axle from like dana 44 to another dana 44, or a dana 27 to another 27. do you mean to say can you swap rear end assemblies? If so the answer is yes but if the 44 from the hawk is going into a car with a 27 the driveshaft length will have to be altered.

We are assuming you are talking about the entire Axle assembly here I believe, it is quite a bit more difficult if you mean the "Carrier" assembly aka "Case". It will be a LOT easier if you are talking about the Axle SHAFT.
But as Russ said "44" Parts to "44", YES!
The raised "44" is found on the lower "Web" between the right Axle Tube and the Center "Pumpkin". If the Cruiser is a V-8, you should be fine.
Keep the axle shims from the right backing plate with their mating Axle Housing, if you remove the backing plates, and re-check the right hand axle end play per the Shop Manual.StudeRich
