Question Are the 10.25 axle shafts the same for the OBS and Super Duties?

[Lonesome7.3]

I need to know if the sterling 10.25 has the same axle shafts from 96 to current. I know when the disk brake rear ends came out they got a shorter hub. I do not know if the hub is the same length on the later model drum brake rear ends. I am going to swap the hub and disk brake assembly from a Super Duty onto my wife’s 96 and I need to know if I can reuse her old axle shafts.

Part numbers would be awesome, that is the only definitive way I know of to make sure.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

After readin your post again..... I have no idea

they are different, not sure what is different but the axle shafts do not come up as interchangeable on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market that site offers the ability locate parts but it also tells you what the parts that they are saying are interchangeable are coming from, and I believe that it uses Hollander interchange data.

I would really prefer part numbers. Does the chart take into account that I plan to change the hub has well?

 

[BJS]

nope no hub difference accounted for...

since you are changing the hub if there is any difference in width on the hub you're creating a hybrid axle. The splines on the center will be the same but if there is any length difference.

The splines are one of my concerns. I would think by switching out the hub, they should work.

 

[BJS]

splines will be the same because the same lockers are marketed for 10.25 and 10.5

I cannot beleive I did not think to check on that. Thanks, That is now one less concern.

You're OBS has a 10.25 Sterling axle? I though the OBS trucks all had Dana axles in the rear....
