I have a 1985 F-350 4x4 dually,with a 6.9l diesel,and a T18,and a 203 T case I do belive,but the problem is I blew the ring,and pinion gear's,and I need to make sur I get the right part's.The axel code on the door jam say's Wheel base 137,trans.P,axel 65,spring T5.The # on the ring gear start's with the Ford oval stamped in,and then 410 E5Tw-DA-1041-85E,and the # on the pinion shaft is 5Tw DA-1044-8gC.Their is also another # on the pinion gear to,and it's DAMA 8T. The # on the carrier is E7TW-AA LO2. Is this a Dana 70 or a 10.25/sterlin?? The main reson I need to know is if it's a Dana 70 with 4:56's I have one ready to go but if it's a Sterlin or 10.25 rear I want to make sur I get the right part's.Plus the rear in the truck I blew has a lip all the away around the carrier housing on the outside,and the Dana 70 I have ready to go as the replacment doesn't.They just don't look the same.Thank you for any help on this.

Reason: no color
Easy way to tell a Dana from a Sterling is the Sterling has 12 cover bolts and the Dana has 10. Axle code 65 is listed as an 8250-lb Ford (sterling) dually axle with 4.10 ratio and open differential.
