If it's an F350 it'll have a dana 60 front, sterling rear, ZF manual trans, or E40D auto, transfer case will be a BW 1356. Not a bad setup. Hopefully it's got a 460, or dare we say it, a powerstroke, but the 5.8 isn't bad. The 5.0 is a little small for a one ton truck.

Axle ratios are most likely 3.54, or 3.73, good luck.

i don't think the 5.0 was ever available in a 4x4 F-350. 4.10 is also a common gear option. the only real downside to the dana 60 is ball joints.

a lot of people don't, my rig has ball joints. but they are a safeguard and last much longer than ball joints, especially under a fullsize truck.
