8 lug and leaf sprung? sounds like a dana 60 to me. check the diff cover bolts. a D44 is 1/2" and a D60 is 9/16". Start hopin its a 60 cause if so youve hit the jackpot! Check out www.broncograveyard.com for parts.

I have a 1979 F250 with the D44 8 lug and leaf springs, I haven't looked closely at it but it should be close what you have. If you need I have no problem climbing under it tomorrow to verify that it is the same.

if it has disc brakes and is a D44HD it's most likely from a 77-79 F250, and thats what I would use to get parts for it.

Sorry it took so long to get pics to you but here is a link to some I took today. As far as I can tell by comparing pics yours and mine are identical. Hopefully this will help you.

By the way my truck is a 1979 F-250 Reg. Cab. Long box 4X4 that came with a 351M/C6 combo from the factory.

Pics are viewable from my gallery its the only thing there right now.
