If it's an F250 it will have the Dana 50 TTB.

I know that it's a Dana 50 but my issue is the gawr. I've read that if it's a Dana 50 it's 4600 and not 3850 what my door says and I'm not sure which ball joints to get?

Not all f250s have the Dana 50. I believe that the d50s have the number 50 cast into the bottom of the third member, atleast all the ones I have seen had the number cast into them.

I believe after a certain year, all of the F250s received Dana 50 TTB axles. But regardless, looking at the axle will tell you what you really have, rather than relying on a door sticker.
