This takes us back to the 205-282 / 205-448 deal again.........

If you didn't find it there it doesn't exsist. To the best of my knowledge there are two different designs, one that looks like a large socket [rear axle nut], and one that's round with lugs that disengage the locking nut on the front axle. It has to be one of these designs. The rear axle might use the same design locking nut as used on the front axle.

TOG - Thanks for the offer, bud! I'll let you know ASAP.
3/4ER - I have seen at least a half-dozen different designs for these sockets over the past few days. Evidently, the one I need has the 4 tangs to engage the locknut, and it has a pilot that fits inside the rear-end tube, the best I can tell. Here is a picture from my service CD:
This is where I got those numbers. Hopefully this is a correct pictorial representation and I am not searching for the wrong thing!!
As a side note, I used to work in a Dana facility in my home town and I worked on the line where the 80-model rear end tubes were machined. The must've called them 80-models because that's about what they weigh each! As well as I recall, we could put about 200 pieces through that line in an 8-hour shift. Didn't need to worry about stopping by the gym on the way home to work out either. Got your workout on the job!

Here's another link, info is lacking, but it looks just like it. You could call them, the price is even more attractive than the last link. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00063Y4B2/sr=1-7/qid=1128057395/ref=sr_1_7/002-3293668-7789654?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=14023931&s=automotive&v =glance

Ummm....I finally have sweet success!!! O'reilly's it is!! I wasn' even sure we had one of them around here, but we do and they had what I needed. I found the store while traveling to my son's football game this afternoon. $16.99 plus tax ($18.18 total). Thanks for the tip, TOG!! Thanks to you others too for all your help. That's what so great about this place! BTW, O'Reillys had the best price I had found on rotors and pads too, so I got those there as well. $97 each for the lifetime warranty rotors and $54 for pads. Better than anywhere else I had checked. It's a little out of the way to go there, but I may have to start trading with them more. Oh, and 3/4ER, at least let ME be the one to get grease on it first.........

Another option...
This is an old thread but someone may still be looking.
The Lisle 28000 is another option. The large end is patterned on the Ford 205-282. The packaging says that the smaller end "Fits Ford 1986 & newer light trucks with Dana 44 front axle. Also fits Ford Bronco (full size)." It was $40 but that is still way cheaper than the "genuine Ford" tool and most of the alternatives.
I don't know what all vehicles the 205-282 tool fits but it covers more than just the Dana 80 DRW. I needed it to fit a Dana 70 SRW axle from an E-350 Cutaway. Check your service manual.

Also to add to this you can get tools from
OTC Tool Manufacturer for Cars and Trucks : Electronic Diagnostics, Hydraulics, Special and General Purpose Tools
They should have a book to cross reference the Ford tool numbers.
