So does anyone know if a sway bar system from a 1989 F350 Dually 2wd can be put in a 1983 F250 2WD. I'm chopping up the 350 for scrap and was thinking I wanted to put the sway bar on my 250 if possible.

On a side note I noticed there is wires going into the top of the center section of the differential. The truck didn't have abs as far as I can tell. And the speedo cable goes in the rear of the transmission. Is it possible the truck has a locker in the rear axle? or is it probably an abs speed sensor?

Yeah they should swap over, both are coil sprung being 2wd so the fronts are pretty much the same. I'd wager the only difference is the spindle and hub on the dually which won't affect the sway bar.
