Yes, all F250's were 8-lug. You can see that on the Documentation/Driveline/Wheels page and then the Applications tab.

Over 8,500 gvw F-250's have eight lug hubs and a full floating rear axle.

As a running change during the 1985 M.Y. Ford started using the Sterling 10.25 rear.
With the Dana prior to that you have to pull the axles to get the brake drums off.

The light 250 (7,700 lbs) they had a "semi floating" rear, where the hub was flush with the drum, and didn't have eight lugs.

Too much other stuff to mention.

I wouldn't have expected a 302 in a 250.

They seemed to show up once in a while in Non-HD F250's. Less than 8500 GVWR.

Let me share a bit of trivia from one who likes the 300/4.9L engine. Ford offered the 302 in trucks up to and including the F250. The 300/4.9L was offered up to and including F600s. Hmmm?
