Default What axle?

Hi guys! I'm from Russia, sorry for my language, I translate through a translator((
Help me determine the front axle, which car Ford is it from and what year? It has a 2.73 gear ratio.
In our country, this is a very rare bridge, is no one to ask for advice.

Is this the old Dana 44 ? Low Pinion? 2x4? Why no hubs?

Thanks!

Are you sure it’s from a Ford?

Could it be from a Jeep Wagoneer or Chevrolet Blazer?

Some of the 1970's Trucks were Full-Time 4WD.
If it's a D44 it might be from a mid to late 1970's F250. I'm not sure if the F250 was available with Full-Time 4WD or not

All the F100 and F150 were coil spring.

Try looking for a tag or an axle tube stamp. That would help immensely.

Did the older 250s only have 6 lug like this axle?

250's had 8 lugs, and axle was mounted below the springs. I'm guessing this is from a Jeep or maybe a Land Cruiser? Land Rover?
Weird the swaybar is mounted above the axle, or, those are reverse curved springs? I can't think of any North American vehicle with a set up like that.
VINT, what makes you think it's a Ford?

Your right I was so busy looking at the fact it was leaf and solid hubs I missed it. I'm going with Jeep Wagoneer, Cherokee or J10/J20.

I edited when you were replying. Notice the swaybar, and their relationship to the springs. I can't think of any North American vehicle being setup like that.

The seller says that this is an axle from Ford, there is no more information from him. But maybe he's wrong!
It has a speed gear of 2.72 (49x18). they weren't very common.
--------
Very similar to Wagoneer, Springs are also under the axle... (photo from the internet)





--------
I will ask the seller to take additional photos axle
Who else will have any thoughts, write

Thank Guys!

You know, thinking back, I do remember the swaybar being mounted similar to that on my F250's, but the axle was always mounted under the springs.
