A 3/4 ton rear end may work, but I think you will be too heavy for them.
hmm. sounds like probably more work than it is worth considering this is a recreational vehicle. probably i'll see if i can find a 3.54 or 3.73 since those are available as a factory option for the F series and i would expect the carrier to be the same even if the axle length is different.

i'll ask around on the ford enthusiasts forum, they seem to have a lot of knowledge when it comes to these sorts of things.
