Ford Trucks with Dana Axles
Ford trucks have used various Dana axles throughout their history. Here are some key points about the Ford trucks and the Dana axles they have used:
– Ford used the Dana 70 and Dana 70HD axles in F-350 trucks up to 1985.5.
– The Ford 10.25-Inch Rear Axle replaced the Dana 70 after 1985.
– Ford also equipped the 1980-current E-350 dual rear wheel and some E-450 Super Duty vans with Dana 70 or Dana 70HD rear axles.
– The Dana 50 front axle was used in Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks until it was phased out in 2004, in favor of the Dana 60.
– The Dana 60 front axle is still used by Ford and is available in various configurations, including kingpin and ball joint variations, standard and reverse cut rotation, and open, limited slip, and locking variations.
– Ford uses Dana Super 60 Front Driving Axles in 2005 and newer F250, F350, F450, and F550 Super Duty 4×4 trucks.
Please note that the specific axle used in a Ford truck can vary depending on the model, year, and specific configuration. It’s always a good idea to consult the vehicle’s specifications or contact a Ford dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
