Yes they do. I picked a 1989 F350, here are the ratios available that year. Probably can get this ratio most years, 1985.5 up to 1998 F350. 1985.5 was the first year they put the straight axle in the f350. Even a 1980 f350 had the TTB originally.


(Spicer 60, mono-beam), ABS, 3.54 ratio
(Spicer 60, mono-beam), ABS, 4.10 ratio
(Spicer 60, mono-beam), w/o ABS; 3.54 ratio
(Spicer 60, mono-beam), w/o ABS; 4.10 ratio
1989 Ford Truck-F350 not Super Duty (1997 Down)

That is the only ratio to look for unless you plan on changing the ratio in the rear axle.
