Odd 4X4 axle ?????
Hello all i have a pretty simple question about a 75 F-250 Hi Boy i wonder if anyone may know which axles are in this pick up it is a 390 4 speed with divorced transfer case altho it is 3/4 ton and has 8 lug wheel the axle tubes are awfully small in diameter like a ford 8.8 which i thought is odd for a 3/4 ton 4x4 which is normaly pretty heavy duty and the front axle knuckles are encloesed in weird ball shaped housing like on a tractor ore real old 4by if anyone has any idea on what axles these could be please post thanks in advance for any help on this subject

Sounds like a standard Dana 44 closed knuckle.

Ditto on the closed knuckle Dana 44 call.
If your knuckles ain't bleeding you did something wrong.
'72 F-250 4x4, Dana 60/HD44, FE390 @ 400hp(purt near!), 4-speed, custom suspension w 4" lift, black on black.

That front axle sounds like the standard front axle on a Highboy. It is a Dana 6CF, basically just a heavy duty Dana 44.
