I know this first part: F26AR834258 so I need help with the rest as noted below:
Model - F260; Body - 281; Trans - D; Axle - 25
Max GVW - 06800; Cert Net HP - 129; RPM - 4000; DSO - 750150

So the tag looks like this:

F26AR834258

120 M F260 281 D 25

06800 129 4000 750150

I appreciate it! Thanks

Ice, you rock. Thanks. So the axle is a Dana 60? The tag on it states:
C5TA-VT
2815-1 4.56

FRONT TAG:
C6TA-BB
2376-6 4.56

I am trying to buy diff gaskets, and pinion seals but the local parts store does not stock them! I am sure that later years would fit. Thanks again.

yes the later years will work, up to 72 i believe.

there are 2 d60 fronts a 3000lb and a 3500 lb the 3000 lb has tapered hubs the 3500 has straight. make sure you get parts for the one you have.

Are you talking about the hubs that lock? If so mine are original and they have a tab thru the center that folds out into a handle and rotates around then folds back in. I will take some pics and try to post them. When I posted pics previously it was easy now it sounds complicated. Thanks again for your help.

not the locking part but the actual hub. the locking part itself is made by many different sources so they do nopt all look alikje however there are only 2 types of hubs and 2 bolt patterns.

3000 lb- tapered w 3 screws on locking hub

So now the truck is becoming a mystery! I think the mileage is correct, since the U joints are Spicer brand. The trans code states "D" but the stamp on the trans is
W G DIV
T88B 148
But the tag on the trans says:
C5T4G

I am getting confused! The front axle does NOT have any screws in the hub! It is just a flat piece with a handle thru the center.

I took pics with my phone, I will try to figure out how to post them.

I appreciate your assistance and time, so your further assistance is more than welcome.

Thanks
