I'm no ford guy but my girlfriends dad is and he wanted to know what kind of axles were underneath his truck, and I didnt hav any clue, so if you could help me identify them, it is a 2006 or 2007 Ford f-250 with the triton v-10 4x4. thanks in advance

To my understanding, All F250's ('99+), used the D50, while the F350 got the D60. In 2005, both the F250 and F350 used the D60 up front.





Yes, from 1980-1997, F250's used a TTB-D50 (and I think some TTB-D44's, but Im not sure). In 1999, they went to solid axles (except for the 1/2 tons)

Yall are seriously overthinking this.


The front axle is a solid High pinion Dana 60 coil sprung radius arm with 35spline outers, the rear axle is a Sterling/Visteon 10.5"

Its been 10 years since a 4x4 F250 had TTB.
02 was when Ford replaced the D50 with the D60 in the 4x4 F250,350. The 4x4 Excursion got the D60 a year earlier. From 99-01 SRW F350, & F250 had the D50, only the DRW F350 got the D60 until 02.
Extreme 4x4 has become one of the worst sources for good accurate info. The D50 has no common parts with a D44 worth mentioning (maybe the same pinion nut or something like that). It does have many common parts with the D60.
Like has been said the 06-07 F250 has a D60 front and the rear is a Sterling 10.5.

This is not entirely true. The "light duty" (7 lug bastard pattern) f250s which were the f150 bodystyle, was technically badged f250. I think they were made from 97ish till around 04. Its splitting hairs, but they were available in 4wd, and IFS, not TTB. Granted its a light duty, but still a F250.

And this really has nothing to do with the threads general progression.! :flipoff2:

rebelchevy you are correct, I edited my post to say TTB which is what I meant to say in the first place. There was that light duty F250 that was a bastard step child of sorts. I don't know what the hell Ford was thinking with that set up.

I haven't seen a FF one newer than 82 in a truck, vans right until 86, lots of D70 FF's tho....

Yep as i have only seen one dually with the 80 up in my area, and i didn't know they used them till i seen it, i only thought ford used those dana 135's or whatever in the 450's abnd heaver trucks, and pir to that the dana 80 with discs was used in the 450's and heavier, and i have never seen a dually 80 in a 350 in the late 80's up throught the 90's but i've been told otherwise.

I was talking about this DRW axle thing with someone else and my experience is just the opposite. I have only seen one or two DRW 10.5 axles. In fact till I saw them I thought the 10.5 was SRW only. All the DRW SD 350's I have seen have had the D80. The F450 uses a D125 (or D120) and the F550 uses a D135. Not saying you are wrong mustange70, just that there seems to be no consistency in some of the drive train Ford has used.
For example I had a 96 & 97 F250 4x4 with the PSD, one truck had inboard rear drums and the other had outboard.

Yeah i think it just depends on what is at hand at time of production, hell look at the 9 inchall types of the 9 could be found under the trucks from nodular 3rd's with 31spline axles (a neighbor as this and its a factory mid 70's truck) to 28spline with 2.80:1 gear set (what my 82 flare side came with and it also came with the 302 as well and that pos 4sp od tranny.) In the late 80's i heard of people finding a full float 8.8 as odd as that seems underneath a van i believe it was.

Never saw the ff 8.8, but have seen them in 8 lug on a long bed step side. THe '99 F-450 that buddy had had a D80 with the factory aluminum diff. cover.

Thats something i need to see, an 80+ (i'm assuming thats correct) long bed stepside, that would look just plain fawked up, that as flareside as far as i know was only offered in the 1/2tons short beds (i have an 82 and i never seen any parts avaible for a long bed flare past 79).
