You have a Dana 50. All F250's had the Dana 50 IFS front suspension.

Sorry about that. I thought only the F150's had Dana 44's. Did the F250 light duty have the D44 and the F250 HD have the D50?

well yall ive got it figured out i belive i talked with a man i met up at the auto parts store he has owned severall of the 350s and 250s, he told me i had a dana 50 with 44 outers i thought he was retarted untill i tore it apart and shore enough he was wright. after i figured out what was up i bought my socket for the nut on the hub and had it off and replaced in no time. i also have one more question is timken the best they make for these trucks or have yall heard of a better brand or maybe even used a better brand. o and by the way i have the mile marker locking hubs. those pics didnt look anything like mine. thanks for the advice though and im surprised i got a answer that fast on here thanks again.

As far as I know, Timken are among the best out there. Everybody always has their own opinion, though. So take it for what it's worth.
