Default 1st gen Dodge Cummins - Front axle question

Dear Dodge Cummins community,
I thought about converting a 1990 4 WD gas Dodge W250 into a cummins diesel.
Then I realized that it still had a solid front axle. Did Dodge change that later in the 1.gen to an independent front axle? If yes which year to buy?
Thanks.
Jörg

All 4x4 dodges are solid front axles. Buy an axle from a 1st gen since it has kingpins and is stronger than the 94+
