As I understand the easiest id for the front is:

If the Wheel Hub is the same size as the Locker it's a d44.
If the Wheel Hub is larger than the Locker it's a d50.

On the Rear the 10.25 cover looks kinda like a pear pointing to the right.

-Enjoy

What truck are we talking about. Typically single cabs were d44 fronts extended cabs D50 the D60 is a solid axle unit not ttb.

Technically I think it's a 4:11, as if it really matters.

It could also be a D70 out back for some years. I was told that for a few years sterling couldn't keep up because of some disaster, and then they had a plant strike sometime later, so Dana filled the gap with D60's, D61's and D70's.

If its got a plug in the diff cover, then its a Dana. No plug = Sterling.

Dang you Festus, I was looking through all of my favorites for that exact page. Its a good chart, but I do have a few arguements with them.

Such as they call the Sterling 10.25 the biggest Ford rear end, but then what do they call the Ford 10.5 in the 99+ SD's?

They also forget the Dana 80 found in the late 90's Dodge's, along with the D61 that people need to warned against, plus they forget to mention that the D70 could be found in a Ford.
