Help need axle pics

hey Guys,

So the story goes, someone crashed into my passenger side rear wheel a few months ago, and I finally got my truck back. They ended up swapping out the rear axle for a recycled one. But I'm convinced this is not the right axle, first thing is the shock mounts are now bent to the shock eye, because they were too wide, and the mounts are mounted with U-bolt, and the previous were welded on if a remember properly. I'm also quite sure on my previous axle did not have opposing calipers, and the replacement does.

Anyways what I'm requesting is Pics of your rear axle from the back of the truck and any others your willing to take and post, is you have a 1999-2003 f350 srw c/c short box please take a pic and post it, so I can appeal to the insurance company that this axle is the wrong axle, my truck is a 2000 7.3 srw c/c short box

thanks all help is greatly appreciated

The early 99's had the drivers caliper on the front. Might have some other differences that I don't know of...They shouldn't have used it IMO.
