Axle decoder

Hey Guys,

Can someone decode my axle?
here it is.--- F150, 1998, 4x4, reg cab, 4 speed/od manual.
rear tag top row-- S862B.
Bottom row--- 55888AQ5. I am not absolutly sure the Q is not an O.

The front axle does not have a tag but there are some numbers stamped above the fill plug and here they are---F65W; 3B232-AA.

I will appreciate the help.

I don't know what front axle Ford started using for the F-150's in 1997. It *may* be the 8.8", but I'm not sure.

The rear is also an 8.8" with a 3.55 open carrier.
