1976 front axle

I have recently bought a 76 F-250 front end with disc brakes 8 lugs and dual piston calipers and open knuckles , is this a dana 44 hd ?? a dana 60 ?? I currently have a 75 F-250 with the dana 44 light duty , with drum brakes and closed knuckles , I will be converting it to this set up , as well as converting the p/s to the 77-79 style , I have found the necessary parts relatively easy to find , thanks to this site . thanks now its time to sell my old stuff ,,,at the swap meets ,,,,

If you currently have a D44 just compare the "pig" and the axle joints to your old one. If the new ones are deffinately bigger, you got a 60, if not its another 44.
