What front axles came in the 85 f250's? I think there was an option between the dana 44 straight and the ifs dana 50. I found one for sale but the guy doesnt know what it has, and i'm hoping for a dana 60.

I'm pretty sure the back is a 60 or 10.25 but i don't know that either.

Front axle is a leaf sprung IFS Dana 50

It combines everything you hate about TTB and leaf springs :D

yeah, I think around 83 or 85 is when the IFS even snuck into some f350s. The rear should be a D60 http://www2.dana.com/pdf/X510-9-3-FORD-A.PDF (page 72)

I don't think i'm going to get it any more. It's a nice truck that drives good for a farm truck but I hate the dana 50 and was ony looking at it for some solid axles. He wants 1500 but after the weekand i think he will take a grand.
