I hate to zombie this thread... but my search brought it up right away.. and I need some clarity.
I'm looking at a 1986 f250 LD - 5.0L 302 EFI, 133" wheelbase
Type is F261 and Axle code B5 tells me it's a 4.10 LS differential with 5300LB... The only stampings on the axle I can find say "FORD"., there is a little metal tag that says V11A or something like that (I can clean it up more if necessary for a better read).
How do I tell if this is Dana or Sterling axle? I'm going to have to buy some parts and they are listed for the Dana or a Sterling E6.
