Are the bearing hubs for Ford, Dodge, and Chevy interchangable? What about ball-joint style Ford D60 hubs?

D60 hub Qs

On a king pin D60 - Chevy & Dodge interchange / Ford is different (shorter).
Sorry, I have no idea about Ford or Dodge ball joint axles.

I almost forgot, even though the Chevy and Dodge will physically interchange only the 89-91 Dodges use internal locking hubs like a Chevy. All pre 89 Dodge hubs use an external type locking hub.
I just noticed the other day that my D60 carrier bearings are the same as the inner wheel bearings. Not helpful, I realize, but I thought it was mildly interesting. 
Trivia... the race is different. On some 35 spline stub axle swaps the stub rubs the locking hub dial causing it to turn and/or "lock" going down the road. By installing a carrier bearing race for the inner wheel bearing the bearing hub assembly is pushed outward approx 1/8" eliminating the stub/hub contact.
I didn't compare races - it didn't occur to me that they might be different. I'll have to keep that trick in mind if I ever get 35 spline outers.

Sort of hijack here....
What brand of hub is on a stock 86 D60, red dial. I think thats a spicer?

Originally it should be a Warn style hub (no Warn markings because it's an OE hub). Being a red dial it is a Ford version, GM axles used black dials.
That said, a Spicer style hub looks like the one in my avatar (yellow knob = GM, red = Ford).

So, me getting the hubs with the hex nut that screws into them to keep them in the locked or unlocked possition was a good idea.
so how about ford f250 TTB front wheel hubs, those look an awful lot like the chevy single wheel hubs and i know they use the same lockouts.
but are the wheel hubs interchangable? fi so that would save me LOTS of moneys.

I was wrong black dial warn. Need some parts for one
TTB D50 and Ford king pin D60 bearing hubs are the same but both are about 5/8" shorter than the Chevy/Dodge versions so they will not interchange. You're right, all axles we've discussed use the same locking hubs.
