I have a truetrac in the front of my 96 f-350. You don't even know it's there until you need it, and no friction parts to wear out.
You can put any front differential you want in the front of that truck. Any 8.8 28 spline unit will work. I highly recommend the truetrac though. I wouldn't lock the front unless its selectable, and for what they cost, I'd go truetrac

Just one thing to note about the Detroit Truetrac:

This may be important to some, and others not.
Note: TrueTrac differentials require a certain amount of resistance at the ground in order to start the power transfer. A TrueTrac differential may not transfer power if the spinning wheel is off the ground. If spinning occurs, often a light application of the brakes, while carefully applying power, will slow the spinning wheel enough to allow the TrueTrac differential to transfer torque to the other wheel.
