Late model Superduty rear end in old OBD F350 IDI diesel

[DumpTruck]

Greetings
I have done a fair amount of searching here and on the general Googler .
I have trashed my Sterling 10.25" 4.10 Dual wheel Rearend.
Searching for a replacement now.
I can find Later model Superduty rears some with Disc brakes.;-)
Has anyone done this swap and what is the workload.
E brake???
Spring perch width vs frame width
Spring width 2 1/2 inch vs 3 inch
Thought I would post this in 911 but then not really an emergency as I can borrow a truck for a bit.
Thanks for any advice
Tim

I think all the c&c's changed to 3" wide springs for 99+. The frame is 34" standard, but not clear what the spring/perch spacing is. Wheel bolt pattern is metric.

I might get a whole diff with springs and hangers in one shot. It will usually be a Dana 80 too, unless it's a 5.4L gas.

Thanks I may try that . is there a chart of frame widths by year and model?
Thanks

You can also steel the ring, pinion, and posi carrier out of a 10.50 and install it in your 10.25 housing.
That way you don't have to fuss with swapping out the master cylinder or any potential fabrication.

How about this?

10.5 SuperDuty Rear Hubs to 8 on 6.5

The older c&c 10.25" uses a heavier housing and wheel bearings than a most 10.5".

R&P swap is do-able. Watch for yoke/spline wear. Use a crush-sleeve eliminator too.

Unfortunately my housing is non functional gear
Thanks for the info.
