Thanks for the offer but too far for me. Can't imagine what shipping is on an axle.

Shipping from Sacramento to PDX (585 miles) only costed me 300$ and that was a full front suspension out of a 2013 F250.
I did not see it after reading through this thread, what vehicles/years do the Sterling 10.5 with discs come out of? I saw mention of Superduty trucks but not much else. I gather I am looking for an axle with a 10.5 ring gear. Looking to put this in my 97 E350 with 7.3. My drum brakes are shot and I have very little interest in rebuilding them...

Not a bad idea. Even with the discounts I managed, rebuilding the rear drums was about $700 worth of parts. US prices are often better, but I'd have gone disc if it was reasonably possible.
I wanted the same set-up for my 2003 E350. I found a Dana 70-2U out of a 2001 SRW cutaway box van, with 90,000 miles on it. It has a 10.5" ring gear, it's a Full Float, 4.10 ratio (with open differential), 5" wider WMS (tracks even with front), same 8 on 6.5" lug pattern, spring perches, calipers, etc.. I can post the BOM # tomorrow if you want to search for one from a 99-01 SRW cutaway box van or moving van. You will only find this axle with either 3.55 or 4.10, and limited slip will only be found in the axles made for U-Haul vans. Hope that helps!

^^^ he states right in the add for the kit you're referencing that they use the 05-07 10.5 Sterling axles.
I about had an 05 Sterling axle in my 03 yesterday but right before we started getting it ready to put in, we realized that the 16" wheels I have wont clear the calipers. So I got to put the stocker back in. Always a great day when you put the parts you planned on scrapping back in

Yes an 05-07 10.5, but out of what vehicles? They don't list axle I.D.'s on car-part and I did not see the donor vehicle info on ujoints site...just the year.

I found mine in a 2005 f250 with a 6.8 on car-parts.com. I just did a search for 05-07 ford f350's. Then after finding the gear ratio coupled with a lsd I wanted I called the yard and verified. They were able to send me a picture of the vin tag. I confirmed the tag matched what they said it was, then took a trip out there to confirm myself.
If anyone is interested I have a full float axle from a 00 e350 that I wasn't able to mod like I thought I could. 100% complete with disk brakes and full length uncut ebrake cables.
