Ford NEVER put a straight axle under a Ford Ranger, that something that you have to make work on your own.

Maybe the question was in regard to TTB axles, which is really just a straight axle built into two sections.
If this is the case, it was 1997 with the Dana35.
For the F-150, '79 was the last year for a straight beam axle. '80-'96 was TTB (both these were Dana44s), then for '97 they went to A-arm IFS (with an 8.8" differential).
