Not only do you have 19 spline shafts, I'll bet you have 48 splines in the hub itself and a Dana 50 should have I think 55 splines.
Like suggested put a tape measure across the face of your lockout hub.
If its a Dana 50 then that is the only one I've ever seen or heard of in my 20 years wrenching on these trucks with 19 spline outer shafts.
Went outside and took my Dana 44 hub apart to show you that my spindle nuts are identical to yours and I remove them with the standard 4 prong socket...
IIRC the Dana 50 should have 30 spline outer axle shafts. In your picture I only count 19 which would make it a D44 HD axle.
Also those appear to be a standard ford ratchet style spindle nut, which take the standard 4 prong dana 44 socket.
With the cable controlled plow setup that small trigger wire on the solenoid goes into the cab to the T-handle or Joystick that controls the plow. When you move the control it grounds out the solenoid and sends power to the plow pump. That way the pump only runs when you are either lifting or...
If your not sure what wires do what then get out your volt meter or test light and go to town. Toggle the functions one by one and see which wire gets 12v.
My 6.9 has a turbo and a turned up pump fed by a duralift and yesterday I hauled a tractor that was in the 12,000lbs range plus the trailer so someplace around 16k, and with my foot buried to the floor and EGT's holding at 1100 degrees I still had between 3 and 4 psi of fuel pressure.....
I have a lunchbox locker in mine and the only thing my truck gets used for is towing and hauling. Only time I notice it is when doing slow speed turning and maneuvering on pavement. Once you get used to it, it's very predictable and no big deal. Moving loaded trailers around the farm would be...
My last truck had a welded up D60 in the front and I DD'd it for close to 8 years like that and never had any complaints. If I needed 4x4 for snowy roads I would lock one hub in, but the truth is if you practice driving you really don't need 4x4. Get a good set of tires and put some weight in...
