The Super duty Dana 50 uses the same unit bearing as the super duty F450 dana 60 that spidertrx uses
I want to build a hybrid D44 with 1 ton unit bearing outers.
Dana 50 suck because there is only like 2 lockers for them and they are only 30 splines. So I figure I can find one relatively cheap.
Then I figure I can run the 30 splines with the d44 for now and later upgrade to 35 splines when I get in an ARB D44 locker they offer 30, 33, and 35 splines.
Just an Idea I had for my buggy axle instead of using the small D44 U-joints.
But it is a lot more work.

The problem with putting it in a ranger those have a metric 8 lug bolt pattern so you need to have a 99 and up rear axle to match.
Then it is only a 30 spline front axle not saying it wouldn't work but D50 don't have much aftermarket support.
Obviously cheaper the better depending how nice less rust etc. the more it is worth.

I figure around $300-$400
I just shot him a text for ya The axle is in pretty good shape out of a leaf sprung 2000 f-250 superduty 4:10 gears in it I believe... We bought a 2000 250 roller thinking it was a 60 not a 50.. so hes got the matching for 10 1/2 rear for it too his plan was to run the pair under the ranger not sure what hes doing now whether he wants to run it or get a 60 so I'll let you know
