Actually, it's not backwards... they should both be ball joints.

Good deal on the axle. NO 4wd F250 from 80-97 used kin pins. They all used BAll Joints..

As far as using your calipers, NO. your 97 calipers bolt on, the 94 calpiers pin on. You will need to use the 94 calipers and rotors. You will have to keep your D50 SRW hubs though. And you can reuse your F250 manual hubs too

Thanks Brad, I just realized its actually 3 types...kingpin,balljoints and ball...
Today the truck got new shoes, studded 285/75x16 snowtires. So now we are ready for the Norwegian winter.
