Very rare to find an F150 with the ZF, you'll have to look at 250s with the 4.9, 5.0 or 5.8. I think they started in '88. Axle '80-'96.

X2 on that. but i would look for a 92 or newer axle. if you can find one with the 6 bolt outter lock hubs they are better. STAY away from the 86-88 or 89 axles the outter locks are junk and a pain.

i'm not real sure on that, frmo the years i've had and reading on here it was kinda like whatever ford got in the mail that day went on the truck.

i know guys with 95's that had 3 bolts but my 92 had 6 bolts, my 86 had 6 bolts but my bros 85 and my dads 84 both had 3 bolts.

according to warn hubs site
87- and early 88 WARN makes no hubs to fit, they have a flange mount hub.

and if the truck had 3 bolt mounting you have to order a special kit from them.

and they said about the fulltime 4x4 hubs but i've never seen one of those on a ford.

Oh yeah, '87-'89 axles are harder to find parts for from what everyone else says.
