Front Diff Locking Hubs

1967 F250 4WD. Having a little trouble understanding whether or not I have a Dana 44 or 60. It's closed knuckle. The bolts around the differential are 1/2 (I read somewhere that if it's 9/16, it's a Dana 60. The center area for the locking hubs if definitely bigger than a beer/coke can. Closer to a Folgers can.

Looking for help on recommended locking hubs for my front differential. Second to this, looking for break hubs that got the front as well. A source would be great.

It looks like you have a dana 44hd. To be sure how many 1/2" bolts are there on the knuckle wiper?

This is what an original dana 44hd hub looks like.

12 bolts mean a D44HD, not the D446CF light duty. You have the heavier axle available till the Dana 60 came available I think in 74 as a closed knuckle axle. In 76 it became an open knuckle axle with disc brakes.

Sounds like I need the 30 spline vs the 19.

Those are the same Spicer hubs that my 70 CC has.

Here is what you need,
Amazon Amazon

https://www.summitracing.com/search/...rd/model/f-250

Or find somebody that has an axle sitting that will sell you what you need. (I have a 1970 F250 Dana 44HD axle complete).
