Ford actually used the dana 50 all the way up until 2001 in the f250s and than they switched all axles to the dana 60. They used the ttb in al trucks up until 99 unless it had the dana 60 up front. Than they used a leaf spring solid axle type front end. A good place to look for reference and advice are powerstrokenation.com and powerstrokearmy.com. Ive been a member on both sites for years now.

Tsc- tractor supply comoany.... Equipment yellow....cat yellow.... Why I said " sorry if youve said this before. Ill not comment anymore dont worry good luck with your build. Chad

If you have access to a TSC they have equipment yellow which is the exact same as cat yellow. Are you using a cat engine or just the kit motor because thats a detroit. Sorry if youve said this before. Chad

do they have to be box stock or can they be modified? Chad
