Fish,
Was that not the "twin traction" something or other front end?
Iirc it was ok. I was seriously thing about a 96 crew cab from Ford, the 250 was a horrible turning truck with it, vs the 350 with the sofa excellent tight radius, GM ifs was in the middle. 5' or so difference between them.
Went with a GM, not smartest choice, but still wish I had it, even with the 6.5TD.

I don't recall the names of those Ford suspension but "twin traction" sounds familiar, but the F350 had a solid axle. Back then I had a '87 and '92 Chevy trucks.
Come on guys, you that young :B It was twin I beam . Fish , here I thought you were the blue oval guy .
Twin I beam was for 2wd models; Twin Traction Beam was for 4wd models. ;)
And rusting away into dust withing a couple of years anywhere it snows was for all models.
So you don’t like Fords, you don’t like Toyotas. Chebbies, Dodgges and Nissans rust out too.
My guess is the only thing you do like is to complain about stuff….- The 2wd was called Twin I beam and the 4wd was Twin Traction beam. I had a 96 Crew cab 250 with a 460 for awhile. Iirc it used a Dana 50 pumpkin that was mounted and swung with one of the beams.

Twin I beam was for 2wd models; Twin Traction Beam was for 4wd models. ;)- I was thinking twin traction beam.....
I did know that was not the best Ford FA option. The SFA was the better one at the time....
