Axle question

Hello I was wondering if some of you all on here could help me out. I’m looking at purchasing a 2008 f250 with a 5.4 for an axle swap. My question is what axle would it have being a gas instead of a diesel. I think it should be a Dana 60 front end with a Sterling rear end. All that said I can’t find anything on the internet to confirm my theory. I’m wanting to make sure the truck would even be a good candidate for what I want before I drive and look at it.
Thanks

If it’s single rear wheel it’s a sterling 10.5 and a Dana 60 on an 08.

All SRW Superduties from 99-16 had the Ford 10.5 rear axle. The front axle in 99-01 was a Dana 50 then they switched to the Dana 60 which they still use today.
