it is together correct. that was never an issue. it goes in from the top. that is the way the taper is in the spindle hole and that is the way it fits threw the radius arm. so if that is definitely a f 250 i beam than the f100 or f150 spindle fits. i don't plan on carrying any weight so i guess that there is isn't much harm in f 100 or f 150 parts temporarily.......i think????

ok i am not that up on the F250 stuff from 73-79 so mayeb it is a 73-79 deal who knows. it may even be from a 72 for what i know. if it works use it. as long as its tight.

Something looks funky about that pic to me too, however, looking at the trailing arm it doesn't look like there's enough clearance to bolt from underneath. Might just be the pic. Both on my f100 insert from underneath. The gap looks ok compared with my f100, I have a boot missing and it's about the same distance. However, yours are in considerably better shape than mine are, heheh.
