Looking for manual hubs..?...

I am looking for manual hubs(replacing the auto-hubs) for -91 F250 idi. I am able to find a lot of hubs an conversion kits, but I am not sure if I find the right ones.
My axle-shafts have 30 splines, and the hub-covers are tightened with five bolts. I think this is a DANA 50 axle. But maybe it has heavy duty suspension ( don`t know if this make any difference)
Could anyone please post a link to what I need,and/or maybe some info(-:

What is the diameter of the lockout hub?

I will check the diameter of the hubs tomorrow.

The 50 is the same size as a Dana 60 axle.
The 44 is much smaller.

Now I have been doing some measuring:

The "hole" for the lock-hub assembly has got a diameter= 94 mm
94mm : 25,4 mm/inch = 3,7 inches

The outer axle-shaft has got a diameter = 32 mm
32mm : 25,4 mm/inch = 1,3 inches

The outer axle-shaft got 30 splines.

The axle-tag says: 3.54 /\F1TA NA
/\610312-3

Also sent a mail to Superwinch inc. They say they got lock hubs for D44,
D44HD, D60 and D70. They havent got anything for D50.
So the question is, I guess, do the hubs for the D60 fit the D50?
There must be someone who have done this swap!?!

Dana 50 and 60 have lockouts that are a bit over 4" in diameter.
Dana 44 and 44HD have lockout hubs a bit over 3" in diameter.

Both the lockouts I measured are Warn hubs.
