i went out and looked yesterday - i can't find a PN stamped anywhere that is still visible. the rotor pictured sure looks correct, but...Now we need to find the front rotors and start discussing how we might go about making it happen.
Judging from his posts, mudguppy is very happy with his, so if you're impatient or not handy with tools
you might want to save up and buy from the guy at diff eng.
Edit: Believe I've found the front rotors.

I've started a separate engineering thread for this issue now. Please let's try to use that one to give each topic the attention and clarity it deservesA big ol' hairy PLUS 1
Raybestos 8520 crosses to rotors that look like the first ones.also the part number i always used for the rotors is RAYBESTOS Part # 8520.
not sure what you mean here - please elaborate since no grinding was required and none of the calipers were 'ground' or machined...... Also, think this was covered but you need to grind the saddle quit a bit on the caliper on the f550. Just info for the at home builder. ...
ill try to find some pics. but you have the f350 calipers in the front if im not mistaken right? The f550 saddle that the caliper mounts to hits the knuckle (on the front) and to get full contact of the brake pad it has to be ground/machined down to allow the pads to make full contact with the rotor. Kylenot sure what you mean here - please elaborate since no grinding was required and none of the calipers were 'ground' or machined...
