Locking hubs

Good evening all, quick question, will factory front locking hubs from a 89 f250 fit on a 95 dana 60? Ive read the 50's have 30 spline axles and the 60's have 35. Can anyone confirm.

I have auto hubs on my 94 and ones broken and rattles all the time but I have an old 89 f250 rolling chassis with factory locking hubs and wanted to swap them.

any help would be great.

I've always heard that Dana 50 and Dana 60 used the same hubs. And I know that when I ordered new hubs for my '97 F-250HD that it took the same hubs as a '97 F-350 (Dana 60). But I don't know how many splines my axle has, and I don't know if '89 to '94 (or '95) are the same.

Also I assume you know that some F-250s used Dana 44HD front axles which do not use the same hubs as Dana 50/60 and that you know that your F-250 has the Dana 50.

I did know some were different and used 44 outters. I guess its worth a shot. I can always order a set of superwinch or warn hubs.

D44 is 3.25"

And dont waste your money on the Warns. The Superwinch are 1/2 the cost and the same quality if not better
