Wouldn't the front be a leaf sprung TTB D50?

The rear is probably a 10.25" Sterling too. Good axle, but the center section is huge.

Yes... If they were stock, D50 and 10.25.

The 10.25 is a stout axle and FF.

The D50 uses the same brakes and outers as a D60. If the front axle is a SA, then it was bolted in after. Leaf sprung D60's are a bolt in affair, in place of leaf sprung D50 axles.

The D50ttb to D60 swap is very easy and its quite possible that the owner of the truck doesnt realize its not the origional axle if it is indeed a D60.

A rear D60 isn't even in the same league as a Sterling 10.25".

The Sterling axle compares more to a D70 or GM 14-bolt FF.

If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
not all TTB F250s had a D50, I just looked at one with a D44 ......
