Correct, the rear is a Sterling 10.25" and the front (assuming its stock TTB) is a Dana 50. The axle code for the rear will be on the sticker in the drivers door jamb.

the axel code is 39 if i rember corectly, and it is still the stock ttb, i did wonder if a solid dana 50 from the 99-07 would fit in its place though

the 99 and newer axle uses a different bolt pattern than the 97 an older trucks.
easiest way to tell what ifs axle you have is by the front locking hub size. the D44 ifs has a locking hub slightly smaller than the mounting flange.

the D-50 ifs/D-60 solid axle has a locking hub that is the same size as the mounting flange
