Okay, I have searched and still have no clue what I have going on here. I bought this truck as a project and assumed it was sitting on a F250 chassis but then I found the vin number stamped on the frame by the passenger cross member. AFAIK there were no F350 4x4 trucks made?

I actually have bought 3 of these from the same location. If these are marmon conversions they did a good job. There is no mounts for a 2wd steering box all that was there is a manual 4wd box mounyed to the frame with the factory raised bump in the frame. All three were fleet trucks, bought them from a sale in San Francisco these were all Pac Bell service trucks.
For a 68 conversion, I wonder if that Dana 44 light duty open knuckle axle is a replacement front axle, as the original factory axle was a closed knuckle axle.
