Front Dana

Okay i have a 76 F-250 hiboy after looking thru a couple of books it seems that i have a D44HD but upon actually looking at the front axle it is stamped 44 but also it is stamped 60f also a site said that a D60 would have 4" diameter hubs which i do maybe 5".But the Books say D60's weren't used as front ends til 78 so is very confused on what is actually the right axle in my truck and help will welcome.

You shouldn't have a D60 unless someone swapped it in there. Is the 60f in the webbing of the pumpkin or on the axle tube?

Probly but if it is the original owner must have ordered hubs you would find on D60 cause they are huge my uncle has a 74 250 hiboy and his hubs are small compared to mine.
