Alright I got a sterling 10.25 and what I believe to be a D60 out of a superduty.
My main question is what width are you guys running? wms to wms. Off the top of my head I think stock ZJs are 60 inches. I havent measured the new axles (they are still mounted to the other truck, and its parked in a puddle)
Also some pics would be great with the measurements. Thanks:D

This is where the tons are going. Some of you might recognize it, Clay Cissell used to own this. I've never met him but I hear he used to be pretty big around here.
I'm collecting parts right now (amount of parts is affected by size of paycheck) but soon I will start a build thread on this little monster. Its gonna be ridiculous
oh yeah, thats max in the pic

I am running a front D60 out of a 1986 Ford F350 that has a 69.25" WMS-WMS. The rear is a Ford 9" that's 65" WMS-WMS. The wheels have 3.75" backspacing. Here is the stance...

Overall with the tires it is 86.5" wide up front and 82.5" wide in the rear from the outside of the sidewalls.
More pics of the build can be found here

'78-'79 F350 have the gold standard in kingpin D60's. '80-'85 F350's had a TTB front end, so those years are out. '86-'92 F350's are the next best also being kingpin D60's, but having the diff center section slightly more centered than the earlier version. Then there are the '93-'97 F350's, which had ball joint D60's; they are by no means a weak axle, but just not as sought after as the kingpin versions. After '97...I really don't know what they did. I specialize in older full size Fords.
