Negative Batman. An 88 f350 should have a solid Dana 60 up front. Sounds to me like one of two things happened.
1) truck was wrecked and frame bent. someone swapped in an f250 frame of the same vintage and didnt bother to swap the axles
2) someone bought the truck to get the 60 and replaced it with their ttb and sold the truck to make some money back.

Look for the Vin on the frame. Someone might have had a rusted out f250 4x4 and found i nice 2wd f350 body. I do know that some time in the 80's F350's had TTB, not sure when they stopped. Maybe yours was built late and still had the TTB. It's hard to know what's going on with these trucks that are 20+ years old. Seems like I find something that was rigged together in a funky way every day on my truck..

Yup, that does not sound like an '88 F-350, I would know, I own one. 
But that sounds like my rig! A bunch of half-assed crap haha. Buuuut.. going to be working on the F-350 all day tomorrow with a buddy, the GF is out of town lol.
