I know they did use eaton axles sometimes.. but after much googling, I think I found the combination for the f-superduty. up to the late 80s, they used Dana 70 lps.. in early 90s, they started using a carrera axle (some kinda italian made axle).

ford trucks never came from the factory with d70's (only converted trucks did), they only trucks with factory d70's were the 1.5ton and heavy internations and dodges in the if i remember right late 60's and through the 70's and early 80's i think.

yea, I know all about the number cast into the webbing, well in the 70's case, I'm pretty sure the 44 is on the bottom of the pumpkin.....I think the 60 is just like the 70, on the webbing.
