PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, PLEASE DONT COMMENT

With that said, I am looking for info on the Wide Track(FAT BOY) F350/F450axle. I am NOT interested in the 05+ F450/F550 cab-n-chassis axle
I am looking to put on in a 1995 F-Superduty to make it 4wd, keep my Factory GVW, get a better ride and get a better turning radius.

here is what I know...
-came in 08-10 F350 DRW Pickup, 11-14 F450 Pickup, 15/16 F350 DRW pickup
-RPO was either 67W or 535 depending on the year
-45* knuckles vs the 35* of the standard axle?
-8 on 200mm bolt pattern
-17" wheels
-1-9/16" tie rod diameter at the threads
-10.75" outer knuckle measurement(top to bottom outside)


But that is all the info I have. I think I found one BUT the junk yard no longer has the truck, just the axle and Vin.
is there any telling traits to tell this apart for a regular DRW axle?
Ball joint measurement?
WMS to WMS measurement?
Casting marks?
anything?

Does anyone have one of these trucks that would mine taking some measurements?
