Dana 50 Drop Bracket's
Hey, My truck is an 86 f250. My buddy bought a 4 inch lift for his 89 f250 and did a SAS. He gave me the drop bracket's for the front axle, im just wondering if they are going to work on my truck? I would take some picture's of them but my wife has the camera, anyone have pictures for the 80-86 bracket's? thanks!!!

I would think they would fit. But all you have to do is pretend you are buying some brackets from a place that sells them, and check the part numbers for the different years. I would do it, but I am on dial-up right now.
Normally the f250's come with the dana44hd frontend, but that should not matter as far as the brackets.

I'm pretty sure they are the same thing. I have never heard anything about them being different.

The 80-86 did have the 44hd as standard, that could be the dfference. 87-up all had d50's

I thought the d50 was a bolt in swap for the dana44 hd correct? So they should be the same and require the same brackets?

The ones in the pictures are tuff country. They probably will be a little different being a different brand and all.
