Looks like it is off a hyrail unit . So could be Dana 60 or 70. hard to tell with no pic of the diff.

Unless I am just wrong as ever (been known to happen) Ford front axles Dana 60 or Dana 44 are dvrs side drop ...passenger side drop is a chebby thing. That axle looks to not have lock outs on it, so maybe it is a newer axle? Or a Dodge newer axle?

I could be wrong, but I counted three different times and see ten (10) studs on the wheel, suspecting it to be off a F-550 or similar or heavier truck.

It has lock out hubs

it has a hub adapter to go from 8 to bolt to 10 bolt. These were used on Hy rail trucks to give them more off set to get the track width closer to the 4' 8 1/2" standard track gauge so the tires will ride on the rails. See below pic
The axle posted looks like it is off a hyrail truck

Well that axle is very easy to identify it's a Dana 50 from a 99-2002 SRW F350 truck. The plastic ESOF hubs are the giveaway. The axle won't fit any older than a 99 because of the width and the bolt pattern is metric.

That adapter explains the ten studs, thank for pointing that out. When you mentioned hyrail earlier it didn't dawn on me Rail Road use.
