I do think from the shape of the rear and 12 bolts I have a Dana 28 are Dana 28's good or bad?

I'm pretty sure you don't have a dana 28. What year and model truck do you have. SHould be either a 8.8" or a Dana 60 if its an 8 lug. Only other Rear ford used on our ear trucks was the 9 inch and that was only in the early 80's.

The F250 used a Ford/Sterling 10.25 semi floating or full floating axle depending upon GVWR, no Danas or 8.8's or 9". You can also ignore the year listed in the axle chart, those codes apply to all years in this generation.

You have 4.10's. You're missing a "4" on that tag (either it's unreadable, under the bolt head, or you missed it).

Your best bet there is C-list. Find some locally, shipping tires is a PITA
