What about the second one?

NEW SET FORD F250 PICKUP & SUPER DUTY 1985/94 STEERING | eBay

My axle says its a XX/XX/1992 Don't know the rest is why there's X's. So that has to be out of a 1992 f-350?

You're right, they won't.

That looks right, but it says F250.

The steering links I got were from Napa. It would cost you around $350 total for the two steering links and 2 tie rod ends for the Dana 60 from NAPA.

So where are you located at?

If it's a 92 axle, then that explains why your calipers on the D50 were different. Hubs will interchange. All steering linkages are different between the D50 and D60. 99+ parts will not work.

Looks like you fell for the "Heck yes this axle is complete, minus hubs!" line from who you bought it from. Because of having to purchase all the parts that did not come with this sweet deal, it's likely going to cost you as much or more then it would have if you'd have bought a complete, ready to bolt in axle (hubs, calipers, steering components, everything).

Yep So I have steering, braking, my drive shaft worked, But were my truck is lifted the drive shaft rubs the cross member just a bit on level ground. Don't know what to do about that. Having a bit of trouble about how to put the lock outs in d-60 to.

That might be where the f350 drive shaft would be better at the more extreme angles. It has a double cardan joint at the transfer case. But depending on which transfer case you have it can be a PITA to get the right yoke off the transfer case
