Like me, he has a 2wd. The TTB is a bolt-in swap.

Thanks y'all.I see the misunderstanding.I don't have the 4 prong socket yet for the locknut,so the rotor is still attached to the hub.Both are junk,so I pulled them off as an assembly.This meant that the rotor was blocking the 5 nuts,so I could only get a wrench in there to loosen them up.
Rogue,I was able to find that info you were talking about.It was indeed where you said it would be.I got these numbers off of it:
P 362 4 1
43742 G
If anybody knows how to decode these or knows of a site that will help decode these,I'd greatly appreciate it.
JGreen,my truck is a 4x2.It has the Twin I Beam front suspension.Trucks with 4x4 have the Twin Traction Beam front suspension,which includes a bonus differential.lol.As for the SAS,It wouldn't go along with the period correct theme I want for the truck.The wheels and axle housings are the only things I have on the truck that aren't 80-86.

The info about the axle id being stamped into the housing came from broncograveyard. I have no clue how to decode the info, aside from the lack of "LS" stamped at the end means the unit was not originally equiped with a limited slip diff.
That code will ID the axle down to the date/shift it was built, and even has the factory ratio coded into it.

Does anybody know offhand if ABS was standard or an option in 95 on 4x4 front axles? The rotor I pulled off my front end doesn't have the little gear thing on the back.Doesn't look like there's any way of attaching one either.However my spindles do have the holes for the tooth counter in them.Thanks for all the help y'all.

The 95 F150 only had RABS, if I recall correctly, however the Bronco had the option for 4WABS. That would likely mean the housing was made to be able to accept the front ABS sensor, whether it was used or not.
As far as I can tell, there were only 3 ratios available in 95 for the D44. 3.07, 3.54, & 4.09. You could easily do the "spin" test, turn the pinion flange and see how many revs it takes to get a complete turn of the axles. You would need both axle shafts inserted. If only one axle spins, count the revs for 2 complete turns of the axle.
In my searching, it seems the front ratio will always be .01 lower number/higher gear than the rear (ie 3.08r/3.07F), except with the 3.50 rear. For some reason, it appears that the 3.50 rear was mated to a 3.50 front. Oh well, so I got the odd one.......

Shaun, it appears there should be another stamped on the axle housing. 93 and older, it's near the DS knuckle front side of axle. 94 and newer, on the PS axle, backside.
Should be a 6 digit number, followed by a dash (-) and another number. This number should start with a 60 or 61. It's called the BOM. (Bill of Material)
Locate that, and plug it in here: Dana Holding Corporation - The Expert Axle Bill of Material

I have about 6 different sets of numbers i've found on the PS axle housing,but nothing matches what they're looking for.I cleaned the whole axle off and couldn't find anything else.I'm gonna do a second check,but i'm fairly certain there's nothing else.

I dunno. I read somewhere that all dana axles have this code cast/stamped into them. 6 digits, followed by either 1 or 2 numbers. This code is supposed to be different for each year/type/ratio/automaker. All are supposed to start with either 60 or 61.
Since it was moved from one housing to the other, I suppose it's possible that the pass side housing has been changed to an earlier model......

I don't think the arms were ever changed,as the numbers I found on both the driver's side and passenger side axle housings are all within a few numbers of each other.I'm pretty sure the axle housings were never swapped on my buddy's truck,since his Grandpa got the truck new and then passed it on to my buddy a few years back in mint condition,and nothing to my knowledge was ever done to the axles.
I sure hope I don't have an oddball front axle.lol.
