I would imagine since thats TTB on the front that the front axle is a Dana 50. Thats about all I know.

dana 50 front and sterling rear

I know it's hard to tell, but the front and rear are factory leaf spring straight axles. You can see the front leaf springs in the first two pics....

it's not a straight axle. its a dana 50 TTB they were all leaf sprung.

Thanks for the clarification, I never knew they made a leaf sprung TTB.............

Ok, D50 TTB and Sterling rear....

Leaf springs don't belong on a TTB (not sure what the hell Ford was thinking )

Also, the Sterling rear did not come out until around '86 or '87. The axle pictured above looks to be a Dana70.

 

[CHKNFKR]

Good call junkie! I didn't even look at the pic, just assumed it would be a sterling.

See what happens when you ASSume things?







j/k

Yeah yeah...

Its a dana 70 rear. Sterlings don't have a fill plug in the cover. That should be a great dana 70 though. I believe that year came with 35 spline rear shafts factory.

BTW the trans should be a T19 4spd and I should have a BW1356 tcase

Hell of a find there. Now get her out of that barn and back to life any way you can.

I thought Ford didnt use the 13-56 until '87. An '84 should have the 208 or the 13-45.

I thought my 84 had a 1356....but I guess I stand corrected...so what differences are there between the 56 & 45??? Maybe a fixed rear output vs slip-yoke? That's about all I can spot.
