what front axel do i have?
i have a 86 F-250 XL 4x4 with manual locking hubs and some wierd scissor style independent front suspension with leaf springs. ive been reading up and it seems that i either have a TTB dana 44 or 50. how can i tell wich one i have? and what does TTB stand for? i need new tie rods and the parts guy has around 4 different styles for this year and model. pls reply quickly because i need this fixed before monday so i can get to work.

TTB, twin traction beams! everyone wants to call it independent front susepension or twin I-beam, but that is not correct
if it is still stock (i am assuming it is) then anything over 8500GVWR has a D50.
i only see one size part for your truck on the napa website. i dont know what to tell you to look for on the hurry. if i could see it i could tell you
i'll see if i can find anything else that might help

anyone have any pics of a D44, D50 or D60? i dont really have anything to compare mine to and im not quite sure what the others look like. some rough measurements of the hub would probly good enough if pics arent available. is there less hex screws on the D44 hub than the D50 mabey?

unfortunately, i am temporarily incapacitated due to a broken foot, so it will be a few days before i can get a pic of the 89 with the D44 front end for you so you can see the difference.
