Super cabs often times had the dana 50 while the single cabs usually had the dana 44hd. I have seen a few single cabs with dana 50's but not many.
I may have a set of dana 44 and dana 50 calipers if your interested. There still on the trucks. Pm me if your looking for a set.

fyi: they are dual piston calipers on the SuperCab F250s those years, I'm not sure but yours may have single piston
There is a possible difference. They are both dual caliper, but something like thickness or shape on the backside may be a factor. My vote is to buy both and just re-sell or return the one you can't use, or stock the others for next time.

My 85 SC has dual calipers and as far as I know it is a 44HD if that helps.

I looked at them side by side the other day and it appears the 44HD has smaller hubs and half-shafts than the 50, but very similar twin-piston brakes. More than likely the brakes are near identical, but wouldn't fit from the 44 to the 50 due to the smaller hub.

What about the difference between a caliper from an 85 dana 44hd and an 89 44hd?

Can't say 100%, but it is VERY likely that they would be identical.

I bet you could do some part number referencing using Rockauto.
