The Ford 10.50" and Dana 80 axles are not being used in the '17 Fords, if I remember the article correctly that someone posted here recently. The Ford 10.50" in the F250/350SRW has been replaced by a new Dana M275 axle and the Dana 80 in the F350DRW has been replaced by a new Dana M300 axle, from my understanding.
The F450 pickup when it first came out in 2008 used the Dana S110 rear axle, wide track front axle, and 19.5" wheels, until 2010.
Then it was downgraded to using a Dana 80 rear axle, standard width front axle and 17" wheels. So it wasn't appreciably different than an F350DRW during those years.
Recently, I think 2015?, it was upgraded back the Dana S-series rear axle, wide track front axle and 19.5" wheels.
For all years of the F450 pickup, it has only been available as a crew cab, with the diesel engine, automatic transmission, and upper trim level packages, so far as I can recall.
