Well if all you have is the axle rods then finding what they match maybe a real problem for you.

Count the number of splines. Measure the length of each axle from the inside of the flange to its splined end.

Note the number of lugs and the diameter of the bolt circle pattern (for example, 1953/96 F250's are 8 lugs on a 6.50" bolt circle), then post all this jazz.

I'll see what I can find...

Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, you can look in about 8 Ford truck parts catalogs (assuming these are truck, not car axles) in the rear axle spec charts...but you will still need the measurements.
