'79 F150/Bronco front axle questions.

I've been looking for a front Dana 44 from a '79 bronco, but found one from a '79 F150. Can anybody here tell me what's different for these two models? I know there's something about the trailing arm mounts, but not sure about the details. Anything else? Is it still a high pinion reverse diff?

I'm working on a IFS to solid axle swap on my 1995 Dodge Dakota using a coil-sprung Dana 44, but all of my info so far relates to the Bronco axle and I don't know if the F150 front is useful to me.

they are both the same axle and suspension, the bronco is basicly a shortned half ton, all the parts are the same, and f-150 4x4 parts are easier to find then bronco parts.
