what front axle is this?
I was under my 1975 f250 4x4 the other day cleaning the seepage from the front cover and noticed the number on the axle. it says: 44 8 EF
NOT 44 6 CF like my shop book says.
also the front axle code is P and rated at 3550 lbs.
I have always wondered why my front axle looked bigger than most I see roling around here, maybe one of you could tell me what this is.

well,
it is a closed knuckle and its much bigger on the ends than the ones I see on other trucks like this. It has the large wheel hub like the HD but it has drum brakes.
The other wierd thing is the number(44-8EF), it doesn't show in the book anywhere it just lists 44-6CF and 44-6CF-HD for the f250 4x4.
and the pictures they show on the breakdown are close but not the same as what this one is.
The code on the door says P but the book I belive is in error because it says the P code is for Dana 60F. it is not a 60 because the cover is the same as a 44 and I don't think the D60 was put in until 78 or 79.
strange, oh well it is what it is and thats what it shall be.
thanks for your help
