I've got an original set on my '62 K10, but haven't taken them apart (and won't for a while), and I've got a Dana 44 that was put under a '59 GMC, and it has Ford logo blue locking hubs.

by looking at mine apart, id say the 4 springs that get compressed and released when the selector knob is employed would fail first. second the knob itself from people using hand tools to turn the knob to engage cuz with tight fitment if your not dead on lined up its a no go. the last part to fail would be the locking halves themselves, they are hardened but if you roll the truck to engage insted of turning the knob they rub each other until they engage which will cause wear.
