Not many 92 F-250 had those axles stock, most had D-44 or D-50 TTB in the front and Sterling in the back.

ya not sure, i havent seen them yet. it is a ad i found on craigslist, they are about three hours away so i wanted to make sure they would work before i drive all the way up there

"I have a dana 60 front and dana 70 rear out of 1992 f-250 3.56 gears complete perfect set"

If its a Dana 60 then it should be an f350. the rear should be a sterling 10.25 very common that poeple think they have a dana 60 or 70 in the rear when it is in fact a sterling

To answer your question, yes they will fit, but with some fabrication. The rear will require driveshaft work to fit and the front will require some thought, you will have to decide whether you want coil springs or leaf springs. The axle will come with a leaf spring setup from the factory making the leaf springs the easiest swap. If you can fabricate

It really doesnt matter what they are. if its a straight axle for the front with 8 stud wheel pattern then its a d60, for the rear the d70 is a very rare if not ever option. But you can pretty much count on it being a 10.25.

Look on the axles and you should find the "BOM" or Bill Of Materials number stamped on them which is pretty much the number that tells you what the axle is & what it was originally equipped on. Once you have that number ck it against the many other BOM's listed in the Dana 60 & 70 manuals I'm attaching and that will tell you what it came out of, what the gear ratio was & what type of differential it had.
