swap d44 for d50

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Ok so i have a 1992 f150 351w e4od 4x4 ext cab 287000 miles and the front end needs a ton of work ball joints, u joints bushings, and so on. i have a 1993 f250 rolling chassis with a d50(lots of new parts) and a sterling 10.25 is it possible to swap both front and rear to go under my 150. i dont care about loss of ride quality due to the d50 having leafs, i just need so much done to the d44 and already have these siting here collecting dust for the last 3 years and thought if this is possible i might be able to save some $$$$$$
So i guess my question is, will this be cheaper than doing everthing to the d44

thank you all advice and help is greatly appreciated

iirc u can throw that 50 in the 44s place the ttb's are the same with leafs or coils. U just have to pull all the mounts off the 44 and mount to 50. The 10.25 bolts in but the rear u joint is different but personaly i dont know that i would do all the swaping if u just need some repair on the 44 but if u wanna do it just cuz u need an excuse go for it

thanks nvrsatisfied84,
when you remount those on the 50 do you weld them or is there a spot to mount them? the main reason i wanted the 10.25 is for the gears they are 4.1o same as the 50.
